weird attachments

[volcel]

I'm turning 18 this year and I'm still super attached to my parents, Its been like this for a WHILE but in my heart I know I need to start growing up more and putting effort into doing so. My attachment is BAD, I haven't gone somewhere without at least one of my parents with me. Even at school my moms there (shes a teacher) She barely calls in sick / has a substitute. When she does however, I try quietly sobbing at lunch in the bathroom, or sometimes I'll be completely fine and it hits me like a punch to a gut and I totally sob my eyes out IN CLASS. I don't tell anyone though why I'm crying I'll just say I don't want to talk about it.

you could try small things like going to a coffee shop with a friend instead of ur parents, and work your way up from there

is it like a fear of being without them? ur do you just really miss them whenever u arnt together

Something happened when I was younger where I was separated from them for over a week but I was told it was going to be longer while I was separated and I just remember literally throwing up mostly every day because I missed them a lot especially since I felt like it would be forever since I see them again and the place was also just horrible. Idk if that's the cause of it honestly but its easier to explain it. Honestly I'd say a fear of being without them.

oh man thats pretty bad
idk what to suggest except starting with small things, eg staying home alone, going out with a friend, even if its just up the road, maybe staying on facetime or call with ur parent while going out on ur own, if theyd be ok with that
goodluck again

Actually, that last idea is really smart! Thank you!
