7.5 month old clingy?

I've got a 7.5 month old baby girl and over the last few weeks every time she sees me she whines and moans, which results in a huge crying fit if I don't immediately pick her up. When I've picked her up sometimes it continues and I don't seem to be able to make her happy anymore, I can barely play with her etc. This goes on all day every day and it's really starting to grind me down. I went away for a night 2 weeks ago and she was great with my partner, no moaning and just the normal happy, smiling girl she used to be with me.

She's absolutely fine when I leave the room, it's just when I reenter. Could this be separation anxiety? I do still breastfeed her so not sure if this has something to do with it as well...

I'm trying to tell myself this is a phase etc. and that it won't last forever but this is without the doubt the part I've found the hardest and feel suffocated by it currently.

Probably is separation anxiety, usually kicks in at the 8 month mark. It's a pain but when they know you'll always be back they do get better about it.
