The clinginess is killing me.

Has anyone else's baby become EXTREMELY clingy/dependant? Normally my son will sit and play in the mornings or bounce in his jumper while I do chores, but the last week he is driving me crazy. He whines ALL DAY and throws fits when I set him down, God forbid I leave the room, he starts SCREAMING. I have to be holding him literally every second of the day or he has a meltdown. He screams when I don't give him what he wants or let him scratch me. He throws himself completely backwards in my arms when he's throwing a fit. We bed share and he now thrashes and whines all night.

I'm so exhausted and I love him so much, but I am fast approaching my limit mentally. I don't know what to do and I don't know if this is normal. I can't get anything done, I don't get to eat or shower without him screaming and I'm not sleeping with him acting this way. Someone please tell me this is a phase it will pass, because I can't take this much longer 😭 I want my sweet baby back!
