You are right, it's not healthy.

She's getting all her self worth from you, and that's a bad situation to be in. You are heading out into the real world, and are not going to have time to babysit her fragile ego.

Clingy people tend to stay that way until they are given the kick in the ass that they need. Sounds like you've always been available to her, and she's had no reason to go out and try to find her own friends, and her own interests.

She needs to find something that she can do for herself, some club, or hobby or something that she can get out on her own, and not sit and be depressed waiting for you to come back.

Feeling good about yourself, comes from within yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone says to you, unless you feel it for yourself, it's just words. She's got to find that.

Feeling trapped on your end, will probably turn into anger and obligation later, which won't be fun for you and just makes the relationship all the harder.

SInce you are comfortable talking to her... Do that... Tell her how you feel... And what you would like to happen (Figure that out first) Her expecting to spend every day wth you is totally unreasonable, and her saying that you are the only thing she has to look forward to, is unhealthy.

Good luck..
