Sleep regression

DD is almost 8 months old. Won't nap for longer than 30 minutes unless a contact nap. And has been waking up every hour for the last 2 months. I am broken. I have some health issues that are hugely impacted by lack of sleep and I need this to stop. When does it end? What can I do? She just cries and cries if we don't go in to her and I can't leave her like that because she ends up being sick from crying. She's so grumpy in the day because she's not getting enough sleep and the bags under her eyes are awful. She's not learning any new skills like sitting, crawling etc because she will not lay down because she's so tired and doesn't want to play. She rubs her eyes and yawns all day long. By about 4pm she's crying constantly until bed. Its making mealtimes tough and she's refusing her milk sometimes too. I've tried doing 2 long contact naps with her but it doesn't work. She has 2x2 hour naps, but they're always at the start of the day. She's awake by about 2 and then will not nap again and goes to bed at 7. I know this wake window is too long but she will not sleep. Please someone help me!
