Agree with this. She seems clingy, obsessive, and borderline controlling, which doesn't make a good combination in my books.
Reminds me of my friend's first girlfriend.

Protip:

GTFO!

Seriously. That's not even me trolling.

Wants me to spend every waking moment with her, when that's impossible, considering we don't live together, and that we have school and I have a job. But I make as much time for her as I can, but she doesn't think it's enough and I have no fucking idea what to do. Help?
Get a girl who isn't insane would be a good start.

Trust me, you don't want a girl this clingy, you may enjoy the attention she gives you but in the end its just going to drive you nuts, I've been there and dealt with similar girlfriends and eventually I just wanted to get away from them at all costs.

Oh yeah she's actually told me not to hang out with my best friend, who I've known all my life, who just happens to be a girl. When she told me that, I was beyond pissed. She has more guy friends than girl friends. And my best friend is the only other girl I talk to besides her.
I had a pal who was in a long distance relationship with a girl that sounds almost exactly like your girlfriend, things were not going well for him last I saw. He caved in to her demands and now spendes nearly every waking moment at a computer screen, he had gained about 50 pounds, and he blows off work and school. What's worst is that his persnonality has vastly changed resulting in most if not all his friends, myself included sadly, to shun him. What I'm trying to get across here is that you need to take charge of your life and stand up for yourself. Way I see it, you need to ask youself, "Is this girl really worth ruining my life over?"

But if you really want to keep up this relationship, then here's something else. You need to somehow get it across to her that you can't be there for her all the time. Have her sit down with you and explain this the best you can in a calm and collected manner. Also, tell her that you're not going to stop hanging out with your best friend, if she can have a bunch of guy friends, then you should be able to have your best friend. If she still refuses to look at things through your point of view, then all I can say is read the last sentence of the previous paragraph of this post.

Kind of the same thing here.
My girlfriend doesn't get angry at me, she just gets all depressed and sad. There's three things you can do. Give in on her and ruin your life, don't give in on her and have her angry all the times hoping she might stop doing that eventually (believe me, she probably won't any time soon, it's not just "a habit"). Or walk the walk.

What I'm doing is set my broundries, be mad when she crosses them, and when she doesn't eventually adapt...I have bad news for her. The thing is that if she makes you unhappy because you're giving up your life for her, that's not the point of having a girlfriend. It seems
Update:
I broke up with her yesterday.

It was drama, but I feel quite relieved.
GOOD LUCK AND DON'T GIVE UP.

I suspect that her problem is with something specific that you are doing instead of being with her, but she doesn't just want to come out and say it. ask her what that is, and then decide what you want to do about it.

Yeah I like her. I know her ex boyfriend before me spent every waking moment with her. Which is something I'm not able to do. And she needs to understand that I care about school and my job too.
Personally, I think from what you've posted that she's simply very insecure and clingy, and that probably stems from a life of being somewhat reliant on other people. She's never learned to stand on her own two feet. In which case I'd suggest make as much time as possible for her, but subtly let her know that she needs to learn some independence too, and that she needs to be able to spend time on her own when you aren't around and can't be there with her. If she can understand that then maybe she'll be able to learn to back off and give you, and herself, some space. Otherwise, things just aren't going to work out between you too, and she needs to realise that.

As I say though, be gentle, and be subtle...
