"I just know I'm going to lose my mind."
Yes, you are going to lose your mind. Get used to it. Sanity is highly overrated when you have a teen turning to a young adult. It's much better to be a little wacky. I also recommend meditation, anti-anxiety drugs, and learning to detach.
I feel that detaching is one of the hardest things about having a child. You put all of your energy, time, thoughts, and so on into this precious being and then you really do have to detach because they need to grow up and become independent.
It takes years to get there, by the way. He's a good boy and will be a wonderful young man, so hopefully it will go easily for you.
Forget about sanity!
