Clingy toddler

My 23 month old has always been very attached to me, but I thought the older he got the better it would get. Well, that is not the case. I can’t even get ready in the morning without him screaming, crying that I’m not holding him. The second I pick him up, he stops. When I say screaming and crying, I mean you would think someone is cutting his limbs off 🙄 It’s so bad and I don’t know what to do anymore. Any tips or has anyone been through a super clingy kid?! Please help, I’m going to lose my mind!
