... How do I decide this?!! Also, what do you all do when you're anxious about something and just.can Not get it off your mind. I've tried distractions. Doesn't work. For a few minutes but then I'm right back to thinking about it all again. Ooohhh I don't know what to do!!!!!

Yeah, I can see how doing things on your own will be a great adjustment for you. I understand. What I'd probably do is to
really start to accept, in your mind, the new reality you'll be facing; the new challenges, and plan ahead in advance for what you will need to do.
Maybe start by doing small things on your own first, and then slowly build up from there to the bigger things little by little, day by day, becoming more independent. You'll be proud of yourself for achieving these things, for pushing through the fears, and you can give yourself a pat on the back for reaching out to find solutions too. Maybe the 'doing small things first' can be the distraction for you, from the anxiety of thinking about it. And perhaps apply this principle to changing your approach with your mom as well - to one of peace and tolerance, love - all of these kinds of things. Because it's all about changes taking place.🙂🙏
