Please help..Regression and 4 month old hysterically crying before sleep 😟

So we're in the absolute depths of the 4 month sleep regression. My LO is currently with dh absolutely screaming. He's been bathed, changed, read to and fed as per our usual bed time routine. But today has been crying hysterically before sleep! He's barely napped, 25 minutes in his cot this morning, then 2 hours in his pushchair in the afternoon. I walked miles to help him nap because the poor thing was so overtired. What's going on?? Is this just overtiredness? Is sleep going to improve any time soon? It's been weeks 😢 we get around an hour a night before every wakeup.
He cannot sleep independently and I'm terrified to attempt it as I know he'll just scream the place down.
The lack of sleep is making my mental health suffer. When does this end?
Sorry to ramble..I'm tired, emotional and so worried my little baby isn't getting enough sleep. 😢

All babies are different but our 4 month sleep regression of up every hour lasted until she was 18 months old! We got through it though and so will you. Sending hugs your way.
