We need space.. But I lost myself and need him

We have discussed this alot lately, im a very needy gf..but im lucky because he still loves me , I know we won't break up, and im happy he finally spoke up about his feelings and wants space and not me constantly wanting to be with him . I want to..need to.. take this as my opportunity to stop being a needy gf. I need to support him and his happiness too, so I dont want to tell him or let him actually find out that im a total wreck , im constantly rethinking our convos and i cry my eyes out..idont want to lose my time with him its hard doing this so suddenly... I've been falling pretty hard for the last two years we have been together..i became obsessed ..i am close to my friends still, but i stopped seeing them as frequently, i lost focus in work, ive changed my major many times..i lost my self and lost all ability to concentrate on things i like and interests ..i dont know who i am, and i pretty much depended my happiness on him.. im happy we are fixing stuff and this is all for the best and its healthy..but i dont know what to do with my self in the meantime..icouldnt find my self in two years how am i supposed to stay occupied and have alone time in these couple days apart.. without giving in and begging to see him..it would make him feel terrible..

Hi there....sometimes people make relationships the center of their whole life....you constantly think about them , want to be with them, need them but hun people need to other things in their life too...i know you may do but it seems your only focus is is on your relationship...if you ''know we won't break up'' then you need to take a step back....take a deep breath and do other things.....if you smother him eventually you WILL lose him mark my words...i did this to my current fiance for 2 years i even was so bad i followed him to the bathroom....didn't want anyone coming round...didn't want anyone touching him or speaking to him mine was to the extremes.........you need to be strong for you because it's not fair to expect ONE person to make everything complete in your life.....he isn't the only reason you can be happy.....hope this helps.
