So, I've had some thoughts recently that trouble me and I want to share them with others who might understand:

I am having some anxiety / depression regarding my current life situation (26 years old; dropped out of grad school; living at home; difficulty finding long-term work; hates current temp-job in manufacturing; questioning my life's direction and feeling stuck / lost).

I was at work yesterday (which is a hectic, fast-paced job... albeit simple work), when I had some distress with my current state of life (feeling sad / anxious / scared). I know not to attend to much to the thoughts that come to mind, but these thoughts concerned me: "I want my mommy, I want to go home, mommy help me"... these felt like childhood thoughts, and it worries me (I almost feel ashamed, really) that I'm having these thoughts. I guess, my point being, is this "normal?" It concerns me that I might be too attached to my family, or that I'm not nearly as "mature" as I thought I was. Thoughts?

(P.S. I am journaling and talking to a counselor, but being able to vent here in a supportive community like this is nice).
