Princessmya, have you got a baby carrier, like a Babybjorn or a hug-a-bub? If Claire is being feral, I put her in that and she sleeps on me. It at least gives me some rest as well. Another thing I do when she is feral, is I lie down on my bed with her and I feed her lying down. She falls asleep pretty quickly doing this. Or would you be happy to try seeing if she will take a dummy? Claires hates dummies, so not all babies will like it, but some seem to love them.
About the watery yellow poos, this is normal. Claire went through that at around 2-3 weeks old as well - felt like she always had a pooey nappy and they were so runny they'd come out of the side of her nappy. Might just be her body getting used to using her bowels and perhaps now your milk has started to settle down a bit and she is still getting used to it? Or have you changed something in your diet?
Hope you can find something that works.
oh i just thought of something else the nurse told me at the baby health centre.. lie her on her tummy on your fore arm, and sort of sway a little. I hope that makes sense? It sort of works for us sometimes, if only just to stop her crying for a bit. Does she like baths? Could you try a nice warm bath?
