18 month old sleep regression?

Please please help me out here. Ok so my daughter is 17 months old and out of no where she wont stay alseep. She wakes up constantly like a new born crying and crying. She wont soothe her self with her pacifier instead she will throw herself all around the bed until someone gets her. She has always slept in my bed but even when I'm there she gets bothered by every little thing. I have to sleep like a statue because god help me if I want to turn on my other side. I guess this is the terrible 2s? Shes been super sensitive lately, a stern NO! Would make her collapse on the floor and cry. Or using her spoon to stir around her food causes a major melt down. She also refuses food if you try to spoon feed her. I understand she wants to be independent in some ways but the night time thing is driving me nuts. I feel like shes a newborn. Idk what to do in a first time mom. Is this normal behavior because im thinking of taking her to the doctor?🤦🤷

Also I googled 18 month old sleep regression. Is that even a thing? Anyone gone through this? Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
