How do I get some space from my boyfriend? I love him very much, but we are together almost constantly if we aren't working. I feel cramped all the time. We live together in a one bedroom apartment.

Having personal space is a vitally important part of any relationship. Make plans to go out with friends without him every once in a while. Encourage him to do the same.
Sit on the toilet for an hour or two.. very therapeutic.

I would like time by myself to do things by myself. I have no issues going out with friends.
I'd like to just sit in the apartment and play games by myself or watch TV by myself.

Ah, that's something different. Asking someone to clear out of your shared living space to give you time alone is touchy, but I totally understand that need. I need it too.
In that case, explain to him that something you've been missing, unexpectedly, is time alone at home, and ask him whether he might want to go out with his friends every once in a while. You can't force him, but it would be kind of him to grant you this - and he might even appreciate it too.
