She's also starting to scream every time I leave the room! I am trying to deal with it, but feel I just need a break! I am sure you all understand! Thanks for letting me vent!

I feel your pain. My son was/is the WORST teether. He got in his top front two teeth fairly easily the rest have been a nightmare and he got some of his molars early. Because of the teething issues he was a "biter" at daycare
(but in his defense he didn't start the trend!)
He also runs around with bruises, busted lips, black eyes, scratches, scrapes etc. It's just rough for little ones. All of my nieces and nephews went through the same thing so I wouldn't be worried. These things are just a part of learning independence.
Speaking of independence, it's not a bad thing for kids to be left alone in a room for a few minutes assuming all safey issues are addressed if they're mobile. If you're with her constantly it will get harder and harder to break her of being so clingy as she gets older. Just do what you need to do around the house and she'll learn that just because you leave doesn't mean that you're not coming back. Now that my son's 17 months old, I'll be in the kitchen and on a nice day I just open the back door and let him go in and out. Most times he wants nothing to do with me!
