Am I not allowed to feel things? The moment I feel one thing or get in a “prickly” mood at my mom calls it, she thinks something is wrong. Can I not be a person who doesn’t pretend and just has emotions sometimes???? She takes it personal and THAT is when my mood turns sour. 

It’s normal for everyone else. 

Also, I’m wanting to buy a house before I start school in January but I’m worried it will turn out to be overwhelming. My gut tells me it will be best for mental health to leave my moms place but I know it’s a lot to handle with full time college coming up. Advice please? You know, I don’t want to limit my life out of fear but I don’t want to make stupid decisions either. People buy houses everyday so I don’t want to overthink a normal milestone for a 24 year old.
