You have such high expectations of yourself.
Can you see how far you have come? You have allowed yourself to become vulnerable (for the first time in your life). And you ARE handling this better than in times past. Can you accept that you have made so much progress? There is still time in your life to get to where you think you "should" be. Accept where you are now.
You don't need to be "done". You are still in the journey.
What would you say if your 9th grader said "Mom, I'm going to be grown up some day, so I need to go out and get a fulltime career job today."? You would say "Be a kid a little longer, you will have time to be a grownup when the time is right".
So, Daisy, be dependent a little longer. You will have time to be selfsufficient when the time is right.
