Can’t take this anymore

Been trying to put my baby down since 7pm. Every time I put her in her crib she just screams to the point she can’t catch her breath. I am on night 4 of this and really struggling. Falls asleep independently for her naps, wake windows are all okay but bed time is just awful. What am I doing wrong?
