I had to deal with that when my fourteen-year-old was a baby. As soon as she was put down, she acted as though the world was ending.So I decided bathe with her, with soft soothing music and low lights. The next thing I would know, she was asleep. Long car rides (sometimes we would just go to a faraway grocery store just so her little self could sleep!), walking around the block, and putting her in the baby tune-up swing helped, too.
It does not seem like it now, but it gets easier. By this time next year, you'll be wishing to just pick her up to hold her.
Warm bath with classical music playing.
Classical music in general. I grew up listening to it to put me to sleep. During the day we listen to jazz.
Like the other moms said...if your stressed or sad your baby knows. And that is sooooo true.
Good luck. Oh and I read to him. Even if its just a magazine. Ooooh &...lol sorry. If I have a lot to do I put him in his backpack carrier facing out. He loves it and within a few min he's knocked out.

My youngest was that way. I would swaddle him and put him in is bouncer right next to a fan. The noise would help him fall asleep. The kid still can't sleep unless a fan is running.
It's so hard to trust...Update
