Please tell me it’s not just me

Y’all. I can’t do ANYTHING with this baby. Every time he sees me and I walk away he SCREAMS. He could be content playing and if I walk by and don’t pick him up, screaming. The separation anxiety is real and it is crippling! My first son was NOT like this. Please tell me I’m not alone and if anyone experienced this with an older child… WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER!!??
