Little bit of background; My girlfriend, let's call her Jane for name's sake, and I are in a relationship, but it's not an open one. This means that we don't act like we're in a relationship in school because right now, it's only between us.

Jane and I decided to keep it this way because she currently has a plethora of issues concerning other guys and felt as if being in an open relationship with me would only aggravate the existing ones. I'm completely fine with this as long as she doesn't have to deal with more problems as a result.

Anyways, Jane is a very busy person given all of her responsibilities, and consequently we barely get to see each other.

My issue is not with Jane necessarily, but with myself. I am a very emotional person and tend to overanalyze situations, so this creates a number of problems for me.

For one, when Jane responds late to my texts (understandably because of her busy schedule), I feel as if she doesn't want to talk to me. I feel a little depressed and sad as a result and am stuck in a glum mood until I get a response.

Secondly, whenever she calls or texts me, 80% of the time it's regarding schoolwork or academics. I don't mind the fact that she asks me for help, but I wish schoolwork wasn't the only reason for calling.

Keeping in mind that she warned me that she wouldn't have a lot of time to spend with me, I don't blame her for her actions, but I can't help the fact that I miss her a lot. My question is how do I stop feeling so emotional? I don't think it's healthy to have a person have this effect on another, so how do I mitigate the effects?

Thanks in advance.
