Hope it get better for you! Maybe you should send her to daycare or a sitter so you can relax a little. Does she behave for other people? Ellamae is an angel when she is with other people!

Here is something I do, but you need a room or hallway where she can be left alone safely.
When she starts screaming, pick her up, tell her you don't like to listen to her scream and take her to the hallway or her room. Set her down and tell her she can come back in with you when she is done screaming. Then walk away.
If she follows you while screaming, put her back, tell her she can't come in with you until she is done screaming. Repeat as often as necessary.
I guarantee, you will spend a lot of time putting her back in the hallway, but hopefully not 11 hours.
When she comes out quietly, greet her calmly and happily and take a break from whatever you are doing and do something together, a snack or a book. Figure out how she can play near you or be involved without being in your lap.

My boyfriend has a 2 yr old daughter that wants him to hold her all the time too. I don't thinnk the fits are as bad, but she does throw one if he won't pick her up. The only advice I have is to find something she really likes to do (like color or a fav movie or something) when she starts that to distract her before the tantrum gets to the biting and hitting and throwing herself down part. Hope this helps
