Terrible Two's and Screamers

My son will be 2 at the end of this month and I hate to say this but I am not enjoying him at all. He's turned from a placid baby into this horrible little boy who does nothing but screech. He is so loud and high pitched. Today has been especially bad. I am so stressed my back is in spasm. I don't know what to do. My neighbours have complained about him. I am at my wits end. He's not sick, and he's not having any issues that I can tell. He just bare faced screams at me all the time. I have been crying this morning, but not for anything other than frustration. I really really hate this age.

Ignore it. I know it's hard, but just leave the room (if safe to do so) or pick up a book.

I promise you he will not still be doing this when he's 5.

My eldest is 7. He was far worse. I forgot how hard this age is. He just pushes my patience like you wouldn't believe. He is doing it now. He pulls his hair as well and makes himself wretch. I could quite happily send him to live with his dad, and thats saying something.
