Stuck in Childhood?

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).

I think the "literature" would likely say that living at "home" at 26 isn't "normal" but they may be pathologizing something that isn't necessarily pathological.

I was kicked out too young from the "parental home" so I'm probably not the best person to answer this.

Self compassion is something I wish I had learned in childhood

I think it's normal to crave security of childhood home because it's a time when I had the most blind faith in people. I also crave this feeling. Funny thing is that I really didn't have that actual safety but it felt as if I did

Many people still want their Mum when things get tough, even age 40,50,60.....
