Regressions

According to Wikipedia Regression, from a psychological point of view refers to  "a defense mechanism leading to the temporary or long-term reversion of the ego to an earlier stage of development rather than handling unacceptable impulses in a more adult way." meaning that "The defense mechanism of regression, in psychoanalytic theory, occurs when thoughts are pushed back out of our consciousness and into our unconscious."

I think I may have been suffering from this symptom. Lately I've been writing in my Teen angst style. which was long time buried !!! I guess the whole adapting to a new city and a new life is harder then i had anticipated. But never did I even consider the fact that my old mood swings, my slicing habits and apparently old obsessions would kick back in and monopolize my entire self once again.
The fact remains that they have all come back to hunt me. Even weird vivid crazy dreams about my old crush have been coming to me. I guess I long for the old days but this whole issue is becoming absurd. I am 23 years old I am not suppose to be feeling the confusion a teenager suffer

I guess the no one is ever to old to be trapped in by regressions. Now that I am aware of it the issue should become obsolete for how can i continue to regress when i am aware and will be strong enough to overcome them. But how can I become strong enough to outgrow the regressions? Just knowing I have regressed has helped a lot at least now i am aware of my actions .But it is not enough. I still continue to slip back in to my old habits including the continuing annoyance at everyone and everything.

These damn regressions are making my life even more complicated then I can handle.

Any Suggestions?
