It does sound like normal stranger anxiety exacerbated by her situation.

I am assuming that she is not in daycare.

You may want to help her learn that you will always come back by having other people watch her for short periods of time (1-5 minutes to start). Say things like "mama always comes back" and then have the caregiver repeat that if she gets upset. Then gradually begin to lengthen the time away... if you do it now, (especially if you are able to do it every day) within a short period of time, she should learn to trust that you will always return and it MAY help with the stranger anxiety. But if you don't you may wind up with a 3 or 4 year old who refuses to let you out of her sight...and that is not fun.

Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation, so you may know better than I if this is an appropriate approach in your case, but this technique really helped with my daughter's stranger anxiety at that age. I saw some of my friend's go through not being able to use a babysitter until their child was 5 because they did not start early enough...
