To be honest with you "Afraid" is one of the emotions I have been feeling the past couple of weeks.
OK, having emotions is fine but you have to have plan for dealing with them. I used the Stockdale Paradox to help me, it's in my signature line. Smileys Person uses the Capt Spiers quote from "Band of Brothers" - "the sooner you realise you are dead the sooner you will be able to function like a soldier should."

She keeps telling me the more I bother her the more I am pushing her away. I just haven't understood the "space and time" thing yet. I guess I am worried she is going to spend time thinking about how to leave me rather than thinking about how to come back to me.
do you you understand why she feels "smothered" ?
Have you read up on co-dependence?
It's wasted energy, time and resources to worry about what she is thinking, feeling, or doing. If you really need to know what she is thinking or feeling then ask. You are only responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You can handle it.
