You will never get 100% satisfaction out of someone who is human. Be strong, grow some cojones and move on. You may not sleep for few days but slowly you will accostom your life.

She took that space, slept with multiple guys, and then dumped me for a jock who "hung like a horse!" Ah well. The jock is now in middle management, and my little weiner made some nice money in software. Believe it - needing space DOES MEAN that she wants you to hang around till she gets someone else she currently wants, however smart or dumb that decision is for her. For YOU though, the smart thing to do is to dump her yourself when she says this instead of waiting for the D-day and getting your emotional self destroyed.

 The "female" what? The female passenger pigeon? The female monarch butterfly? The female red-bellied black snake?
Ohhhh, you mean the *human* female? Like, a woman?
(Say "woman" out loud. Try it out a few times. It's a real, grown-up word, and it's quite good at describing females of the homo sapiens species.)
But back to your question:
"I need my own space" usually means she wants to break up, but doesn't want to do so in a confrontational way. It could also mean that she feels that things are moving too fast, or that the person she's saying it to is too controlling or jealous for her tastes.
Generally, it's synonymous with "it's over unless I tell you otherwise". Best to assume the worst in these cases.

 I dont believe that anyone is "panicking". However, it is very typical when someone asks for "space" that they are feeling crowded, wanting their freedom, and ready to leave the relationship. Chances are that they are slowly weaning away, until they are completely ready to let go.

 It means one of two things,
1/ Its over and I have not had the guts to tell you yet or
2/ you are possessive and crowding me and I want some freedom to see mates and go out without you, as well as have a relationship with you.
Does this help!!
