Long story short: My mom lost her job over a year ago, so she's been home. She also has health issues and is on disability now. Anyways, her father passed away in September and the house is up for sale now. So, she left to help her brother's clean the rest of the stuff out. And I'm having more anxiety over it. I already have depression and anxiety, but this trip she's taking is making it worse. I was going to go, but I knew that my anxiety would spike like none other, plus I knew that she really needed this trip to say her final goodbye since she couldn't go to the funeral because she was sick at the time. Any ideas on how I can not have so much anxiety over this? She'll come home Wednesday.
Sorry to hear of your situation, and your mother's health. Not knowing your situation, it is hard to say if you are dependent on her. Given your mother's health, she would likely appreciate you being strong and independent. Rather than being concerned about being dependent on her, pursue making yourself strong. Proceed with some therapy if you have not already. There is no shame here, just opportunity.
