I have an amazing girlfriend and I don't know how to appreciate her at all. I try so hard to change and show her I do care but I let myself get carried away with jealousy at the smallest things. She would do just about anything to make me happy and make my life easier, and she has. All I do is snap at the smallest sign that someone else might make her smile. I'm ridiculously possessive and I don't know why. I've never been this way with anyone but she brings something out in me. I don't want to share her, even if it's just someone she's friends with. I think it's because we hit it off really well as friends so every time i see her make a friend I think they will take my place. I don't know if it makes any sense outside my head.
I practically broke up with her today because of this. She made plans with other people and didn't include me, she's never done that. It hurt, and when I'm hurt I hurt back. I know she loves me but when I'm angry I make myself believe I don't. I know I'm ruining things and pushing her away. I know she's going to eventually get tired of it. Yet I still lash out at her and act like she doesn't deserve me when in reality I don't deserve her. I think I really fucked it up this time though, I need and want to fix it so bad but I don't know how.

Maybe you need to break down
Maybe you need to break down what's making you jealous. And maybe you should talk to her about that. Are you jealous because you're insecure? If so why are you insecure? That kind of thing.
It's good that you're trying, and if you're trying as hard as you say you are, I'm sure she sees that too, and that she'll be willing to work through this with you.
I kinda have the same problem.
Just like, think about yourself. Do other people make you smile in ways that if it happened to your GF? Try to remember that YOU don't have an attraction to everyone who's nice to you, and that sometimes friend groups just don't mix. Maybe she wanted like, an all-friend day instead of you and her being together WITH friends. Cause I know in my experience that one party is bound to get bored with that, especially if one of the dating members is clingy (And you sound it).
You don't own her. I mean that sounds mean, but you don't. Space is good. It's very good for a relationship. It shows you trust them.

I'm actually not the clingy
I'm actually not the clingy one at all. Doing everything together is her thing, She used to not want to do anything or go anywhere without me. If her friends invited her out and I couldn't go she wouldn't go either. I actually tried telling her that wasn't healthy for our relationship but she just saw it as me not wanting to spend time with her. Now I've gotten used to it so it threw me off when she completely forgot about me.
Ah, well,
Then accept the change. This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Hmmm...this sort of
Hmmm...this sort of possessive behavior is, obviously, not healthy. Mayhaps this is a sign that you should just cool it and give each other more space? I don't know how much time you spend with her, but maybe you should spend less time together, at least for awhile. Not that you should break up or quit talking completely or anything drastic like that. Just let each other hang out with friends separately more often and see if the possessive behavior ebbs a bit.
JESUS WHAT HAPPENED
I am so sorry D: I don't even get how that happened. Sorry sorry sorry!
