Firstly, know that there's nothing wrong with you for thinking/feeling this way It can be stressful and anxious moving between places - even just going on holiday and coming back after having a good time might make people anxious about returning to 'normal'
Are you comfortable expanding on the 'bad stuff'? Is there anything in particular that you think might happen when you go home?
Moving out is a big thing, and I'd recommend to anyone thinking about all the practical side of things (money, food, gas/electric etc) so you're more prepared for whenever you do decide you're ready. It can be difficult in the first few days to get use to it, and people do struggle in the beginning, but it can be a positive experience and make you feel more independent. However, it is a big move and is a very personal thing, so do not rush into anything without really thinking it through
Living in the moment is hard, and not all of us manage it, but that isn't a bad thing. Maybe make a scrapbook or playlist to remind you of your 'happy' times that you can look at/listen to whenever you're feeling low. Another strategy I've heard of if is to write down your negative thoughts/feelings, then scrunch up the paper and throw it - like you're throwing away the bad feelings
My number one tip for everyone is to keep talking to people - either on here or in 'real-life'. I know how hard things can get when you keep everything inside of your head, and please know that there are people who genuinely care about you and what to listen /support you
