My Girlfriend is too dependent on me

We have been together over a year now, but she has grown a dependence on me that has or can affect our relationship.

I’ll try to tell everything the shortest way I can:

We both knew each other since high school but we both came to Europe to study, but on different countries. When we started dating it was a distance relationship ( she lived in germany and I lived in spain). Time passed and she decided to come to Spain to study.

Since she came here she had a hard time getting along with people here and overall get used to this new life (I must also say that she moved with me since she has not enough money to live by herself, so since I moved to Spain with my parent’s she is staying with us). All she had here the first months was me and her studies, so I think thats when her dependance started, since I was spending so much time with her and I was the only person she felt confortable with.

She had some issues dealing with anxiety so I’ve tried to help her with that. But I must admit it is really hard since I fell really frustrated and impotent sometimes.

Right now she can’t sleep if I’m not sleeping with her (we both have separate rooms), if I play videogames for too long or do anything without her for much time she will get sad, same thing if I stay with my friends for too long. She gets these really strong anxiety attacks when these things happen.

I know that it sounds like she is trying to control me and my life, but she is well aware of what she feels and she doesn’t like it at all. We both want to change the situation, but neither of us know what to do. We love each other a lot and we know this will hurt our relationship, but we don’t know where to get help since we can’t afford a therapist.

I hope that is well explained :)
