2 year old driving me bonkers

[Foreverhopeful22]

Omg I'm at wits end

She is normally a really pleasant and happy girl and for the most part she is being that until I need to do something

E.g. Change bum
Eat dinner, lunch or breakfast
Nap
Getting dressed
Brushing hair or teeth

Literally meltdown and NO followed by screaming not crying just screaming.

Today she was in timeout 7 times and dinner time ended up being put in cot.

I am at wits end.

There is no reasoning with her, you can talk calmly she screams louder, you ignor her she screams louder . I've been slapped and bitten

What the fuck has happened this has been going on since Sunday and I'm now so fucked off im dreading tomorrow and I mean dreading it . I love her so much but I honestly don't like her today she has been so bad, and it's getting worse

Someone give me pearls of wisdom ! I know they go through phases but this is ridiculous

titty it does if you do it through play and empathise first. So, I'd say sorry you / we can't do that right now, you must be frustrated etc, then if she's still refusing to do something / go somewhere, rather than put her on time out if say "oh look at teddy (other appropriate thing she likes) and encourage take her mind off the tantrum. All else fails chocolate buttons works well

I'm not saying time out isn't effective for some but it never really worked for my kids and I also think 2 is too young for it, but that's me, I'm not judging other who use it.
