Communication? It sucks

Im someone who is super clingy. Recently Ive been going through a lot of stress like my grandmothers passing, working 3 jobs, having anxiety issues, and basically no one to talk to. My boyfriend hasnt had to work the past few days and has spent his time sleeping and playing video games. Ive tried to talk to him but Ive come off as super clingy. Since we are long distance, I always want to skype but anytime I ask he always reads the message and won't answer.

Im looking for advice on how I can interest him in our conversations and pull him away from video games. He says he plays them a lot when Im not there because he has nothing else to do without me.

Any communication advice or stories about your experiences?
