<human>: I hate that I'm a person of routine. Because once that routine gets messed up it causes me to panic and feel like something is wrong. I'm beginning to think have anxiety of some sort. It's only bad when I'm worried someone is mad at me. Then I start to think of the worst possible outcome and I become a blubbering mess.

My boyfriend of 8 months made it a habit to talk to me a good amount of the day. Now with his new schedule at work I hardly hear from him throughout the day and at night we will talk for about an hour or so or watch Netflix together.

I enjoy the time we talk and spend together but the times he's not talking to me I'm going crazy because it's not part of our "usual routine" for him not to talk to him. I had somehow convinced myself that he was upset with me or losing interest in me despite the fact that I know his schedule has changed and he's busy.

I know myself this is unhealthy and I need tips on how to a) get myself used to it and b) keep myself distracted enough to where it's not on my mind.

I don't want to ruin this relationship just because I'm being clingy and needy so what can I do to chill out so I don't overwhelm my boyfriend?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I'm clingy and needy and don't want to scare off my boyfriend but when he's not talking to me I feel worried he's losing interest or mad at me. What can I do to calm down?
