I can see how long you’ve been carrying this stress without the kind of support you needed. Growing up without emotional validation can deeply affect confidence, decision-making, and how you see yourself and being in the same environment right now is likely reinforcing that stress.
At the same time, your situation will not change unless you begin building some level of independence emotionally first, then practically. Right now, the focus should not be on changing your parents, because that is outside your control. The work needs to be on strengthening you.
Next Steps
The fact that previous consultations didn’t help does not mean therapy won’t work—it often means the approach was not structured or consistent enough. With the right guidance, we can work on:
rebuilding confidence and decision-making
setting boundaries gradually, even within the same household
managing constant stress and overthinking
creating a realistic plan toward financial and personal independence
This cannot be solved through advice alone—it needs step-by-step work. If you’re open to it, we can start working on this together in sessions and build a practical plan suited to your situation.

Hi,
Itâs important to remember that your feelings are valid, and you deserve emotional support and understanding. Even if mental health professionals haven't helped much so far, consider exploring different types of therapy or support groups, which can provide new coping strategies and a sense of connection. Focus on small steps to build confidenceâlike daily self-care, setting achievable goals, or engaging in activities that bring you some peace. If possible, try to find free or low-cost counseling options through community centers, online platforms, or helplines. Remember, you are valuable, and seeking support is a sign of strength. Keep hope alive, and donât hesitate to reach out to any trusted person or organization that can help you find a way forward.

I’m so sorry to hear about your problems. Indeed it seems like a very grave and emotionally heavy situation. My suggestion would be to try to step out of your house each and every day, and try to engage in any form of manual work that will keep you physically fit. It may be something as small as gardening or volunteering with an NGO to serve the needy, poor and unprivileged people. These activities will distract you from your negative thoughts and help build physical and mental fitness within you.
