How should I distract myself?

Question

My boyfriend is the greatest thing to happen to me in my whole life. I wasn't really into him at first but I can't say no to some people and sure enough, I love him so much. The thing is, I can't see him until sometime after next year starts at my parents discretion. I have been emailing him but I have a bad habit of sending three or four emails between his emails. It isn't because he doesn't care to email me, I'm just too needy/clingy and he is busy. He says he doesn't mind it and that my emails brighten his day but... there is a difference between seeing someone's name on an email in your inbox and seeing five or six from the same person. I'm also slightly paranoid that when people don't respond immediately they don't want to. So what can I do to distract myself so I don't start to irritate him (if I haven't already)

Update:

I KNOW I'm being too needy and that isn't the issue. He doesn't want "space" because he would miss me. I just want to know how to break my habit.

I don't have any friends that email.

Try to read a book or watch a series to distract yourself. Actually it's pretty normal 'cause you miss him. OR why not email him at the end of the day given that you'll tell him everything. uhm like he'll be your breathing and walking diary. :) He might do the same too and that will be just great :D

Hun you're being a bit too clingy and needy. It's not a good thing. Give him some space! If he likes you back then he will make an effort to make the relationship work. If not then move on, he's not worth it.

(Why the thumbs down?) 
Just stop bugging him and show that you have your own life, interests, friends, etc. and that you don't NEED him to be happy. Once he sees that he'll start making an effort to contact you and see how you're doing and what you're up to! :)

Well you have to stop being too clingy my lesson was learned i was in a relationship with this great guy but he broke up with me because i was too clingy. You don't wanna loose him so you have to learn how to stop. You can distracted yourself by listening to music, reading a book, playing a game with your family, Xbox, wii etc. join a club or sport. Keep your mind occupied ! There's many things you can do.

every time this happens to you (and it occurs to a great deal of writers) get up, walk remote from the laptop for a jiffy, and then do inspite of it takes to jot down. this happens because even as all is declared and finished, writing is truly artwork. We writers like to create, arise with lively, exciting characters, and staggering plot innovations; yet to positioned all of it down on paper (or on your puzzling force) takes artwork. no human being quite needs to artwork. supply your self a last date to finish particular projects. Make the first last date for some thing small, including writing ten pages through the precise of the day. Then once you get used to that structure, construct on it and set loftier objectives. have a good time with doing all that makes writing exciting (plot, characters, communique) yet practice the craft of writing through teaching your self with a last date and a routine. good success!

Find a friend to email who is willing to listen to you talk about your boyfriend and give feedback sometimes.  That way you're emailing, it's about your boyfriend, but it's not actually contacting your boyfrieind.
