I'm 23, but I'm having the same kinda problem. I think it's because the depression was easier to manage back when I was 14, when my parents took care of me (even if they weren't very nice) but now since I'm out in the "real world" and have a job and I'm finishing college, it complicates things for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm still 14 mentally and I never grew up enough to function on my own that well. I worry what I will be like when I get older and have children...I don't want my kids to suffer like I did for so many years, and I want to be able to give them the world. Right now it's hard enough to get up and go to work. :/
