So, i have anxiety and depression problems. Normally they are very well controlled, but I had a situation recently that really unnerved me, and all I want is to be around my mother. I've never been like that in my other situations, and I haven't told her about this particular situation. Even at night I want to sleep next to her (I'm a girl ps) is this normal?
I went through a similar situation. It was the second time I was going through a difficult experience in my life. The first time I just kept telling myself it would get better and that I could do it on my own. I did, but it took long and I was depressed for a long time. The second time, I immediately wanted my mother and to my surprise she jumped on a plane and came right over. It was great - we talked a lot and I got through my depression a lot more easily and faster. I even had the courage to seek professional help and really look into why I was feeling like that. The experience completely changed my life and I am glad that I listened to myself and saught out my mother's comfort - it probably saved my life. I know now that if I ever go through something that difficult again, I will have a support group. Even if for some reason my mom is not able to be near me, I know I can reach out for help.
i suppose if you've always found comfort in being with your mother, then when a bad situation comes about, naturally you will seek the comfort that being with her supplies.
deciding if this is normal would depend of other factors, such as, the severity of your recent situation and your age. obviously your recent situation was more than you could handle.
time heals alot of things, though not knowing the situation, can't say for sure if it will help you. good luck
