Baby is upset all the time

For the past week I have been stuck in the house. My 6 month old baby has gone from a happy cheerful baby crying when she wants or needs something to crying all day everyday for absolutely no reason at all. I have hidden in a room for 30 seconds just to catch my breath. I'm getting migraines and I just don't understand why she is like this. It's getting me really down. I have fed her , changed her , she's had a nap all the toys in the world, she has her sister who entertains her constantly I cuddle her I give her kisses but sometimes I need to get things done like change my older daughters bum or make her a meal. And my baby just screams. Not a painful scream, I know the difference just a pick me up type of scream. She dosent do it when others are around so people think I'm going crazy. I have no idea what to do or what she wants I feel like an awful mum . Unless she's sleeping she's gurning/crying. She just had her checks and dr said she's fine I got a second opinion and she is fine. How do people cope and keep there brain cells when there baby's are miserable from the moment they wake till the moment they sleep?????

Are you sure she isn't teething? I remember one of nine behaved like this when his gums were bothering him

Is it just when you put her down? If so it could be separation anxiety, one of mine was very clingy at that age and so he spent a lot of time in a carrier.
If it is all the time then I would think it might be teething, have you tried giving her anything for soothing her teeth to see if it helps?

Don’t be stuck in the house. Pop her in the pram or carrier and get out for a walk, you will feel better for it.

I agree with @Thesearmsofmine my youngest is 7 months and has the worst separation aniexty! I also have a 5 year old and 2 year old sometimes I'm so rushed off my feet! .. he wants to be help all day . It should pass eventually for now just try to cuddle ur lo as much as you can!! .. but if the baby is fed changed and not ill and you have to attend to your toddler then leaving them to cry for 5 minutes won't hurt !
