It is probably seperation anxiety. She will be fine! If you have been spending a lot of time with her and now you have to leave...she will be sad. She will get used to it though I PROMISE.
I would suggest the following:
1) When you do get home, reward her big time. Give her lots of love and tell her she is a good girl. Lot of treats and love!
2) When you are home, put her in the room closed alone. If she cries, ignore her. When she stops crying open the door and give her a treat and tell her how good she is.
3) When you leave her, give her tons of toys, leave on a radio or tv. I STILL give my 8 month yorkie a kong full of treats when I leave.
It will take time and I know it makes you feel terrible. I wanted to cry... It will get better. Just respect how lonely and sad she feels and give her TONS of attention when you return.
If it is possible, see if someone (i.e. a family member or even a dog walker) can check on her periodically.
My Stomper boy barks ever so often when we leave (just on weekends when he KNOWS we are not working), but he is fine. Give it time. Don't feel too bad or you won't be able to cope with it!
