It sounds like she is trying to hold on to you and control you because she feels like you are moving on with your life and will no longer need her or want to be close to her. Just remember that while you are excited about being grown up and becoming an independent adult, your mother is worried about loosing her baby. Just sit her down and say that you love her and know that she means well but that you are feeling a bit stifled and need to be able to find yourself. Hopefully that will get her to back down a bit.
