I’m 18, and I still have a hard time leaving my parents. I’ve always been this way, but I thought as I grew up it would eventually fade away and I’d become more independent. But it’s still here and it’s crippling. Every time I go somewhere (ex. My friends house) I get so anxious and emotional leaving my parents, and I feel so sick and depressed. I don’t even want to think about when I eventually have to move out and start my own life. I hate feeling like a  helpless kid in a grown up body.
