Depressed when moving out of parents house?

nah, completely normal. You've spent your whole life there and it's going to be a new chapter for you (cliche, i know). Good thing is you don't live too far away (i moved 14 hours away from my parents for school). I know how you feel about feeling like you treat your parents bad but now that you know that makes you feel terrible just be happy to see them, it's easy to be nasty to em when your with em all the time but now with distance it will be easier to be happy around em

 

My mom was proud when i moved out. Uses it as a bragging right.

Your parents will be proud that your able to survive on your own without them man. This next step is the test to see how properly they raised there son and its your chance to proove they raised an amazing man.

 

I moved out at 19, 5 minutes away, and I was depressed after the awesome feeling you get when initially being on your own..it happens man, just natural since its such a huge difference in your life

 

End of an era...Perfectly natural to be excited/nervous/nostalgic, etc.

Transitioning from dependent to "adult" should make anyone a bit nervous, I would think.

 

i can't fucking wait to move out. I know it'll be hard to say good bye but 18 years of my life is long enough to live with them. As soon as i finish school in a couple years and get a real job i will think about moving out.

 

This.

I was pumped to move out and my mom was pumped for me so it kept me excited.

You need to get excited.

Dont look at it as losing your youth..

but taking a exciting step forward into adulthood.

New responsiblities with new freedoms. VERY exciting time.

 

I was pretty nervous the first time I moved too. It was only 45 minutes away, but I'm a bit of a mamas boy and it just felt weird not to have her around. But after the first month of being on my own that feeling went away. Guess you could say I grew my wings. I was 39............. <--------loljokeiwas19

 

I moved out for the first time almost 20 years ago, I as 18. I was ecstatic! I couldn't wait to get out on my own away from home. Oh, I was a wild child back then.
Anyway, it only took a couple of days before it sank in that I didn't live at home anymore, and then I became emotional. But once you've been on your own just a couple of weeks, you're going to get a routine down, you'll begin to really settle into your surroundings, and things will start looking up from there. Embrace this time in your life and make the most of it because it will go by in a flash. Take it from someone who knows.

 

You are sad because it IS the end of an era for you and because you had a great upbringing through your parents.
I remember when I left,(I was the last) it was harder on my parents than me.
When my daughter left for college, I know what my parents felt. and yes it was harder on my wife and I than our daughter!

But it's all good!

 

when i moved to an apt in college i wasn't sad ( i was still 30 minutes away )

but when i went to the airport to move half way across the country i got sad.

 

I felt that way too. It goes away after like a day.

 

Because of my childhood I'm pretty codependant and attached to my mum, because my dad left us when I was young. I've never had a male role-model that I could look up to. Mum's previous relationships have ended badly because they were all scum... I'm 18 now and the idea of moving out and moving on scares me, but it has to happen eventually. She's going to die one day, and I don't know if I'll be emotionally ready to carry on. /rant
I'm absolutely sure that it's normal for you to feel emotional.

 

When I was 18 I packed a bag and moved almost 3000 miles away, it didn't bother me until I ran out of money and had no one to turn too. But then an even better feeling came over me when I found a job and got back on my feet with no help. My parents and I never had the healthiest relationships anyways ( I was definitely a fuck off)

 

I felt that way too.

Even worse,
After living away from my family for a couple years Following a big break up I moved into one of the apartments my dad owns.
My big brother moved in next door and for two years we were closer than ever.
We would pretty much leave our doors unlocked and come and go as we pleased.
My dad would come by multiple times throughout the day.

Then I left
Then my brother left and moved out of town.
And dads lonely
I wish I could go back to that time.
I miss my parents and big brother everyday.

I'm a girl too though and am most definitely an emotional wreck.

 

moving out and having your own place is the best feeling ever. paying those bills, not the best feeling ever. oh and if you ever have to move back in with parents or in with some other family member, it's a MUCH more depressing feeling than ever moving out

 

Its normal and you'll feel like this for about a week or 2.

After that it goes upwards and you'll ask yourself how you ever lived WITH your parents.

True story.

You'll enjoy it a lot mate no doubt. Even if it comes with some downsides, the positives outway it imo.

 

OP I sort of know that feel..I wouldn't say I was depressed over it but shit, thats the house I came up in and all that yada yada yada. My parents are older, my biggest concern was them taking care of the house and our dog without my sister or myself around. Moving is EXTREMELY stressful, good luck during the whole process man. Smoke one and chill during the whole ordeal, you'll find that once its all finished there was no reason to geek out to begin with

 

So.. What I'm getting from this thread..

Is that. Women have bigger separation issues than men. Interesting.
