Restrictive parents

I am in a very distressed state. My parents are quite overprotective so they don't want me to step out of the house no matter what. I feel trapped. I've tried explaining everything but they just don't let me. Once I stepped out and when I came back I faced a havoc. I have anxiety issues these situations causes a lot of stress and because of its repititve nature I have developed a medical condition due to which I have been bedridden for a Month. My vision is distorted pertaining my future. I am a highly idealitc person I have my aims but these situations drain me mentally and emotionally and physically I'm not able to strike a balance. They being narrcacist will never understand what I'm going through. Pls give me suggestions how to deal with these kind of situations? And worry less

Actually you should know the reason of their overprotective nature..you should stay quite dont shout at them.. In free time talk with them about the house family, siblings or in any topic, And plzz aim for your career and study as much as you can They ll notice you nd can hopefully change their behavior Nd btw you can enjoy your life after your job with your own salary.. Nd how are you so depressed why don't you enjoy inside ur house keep reading books, watching tv, talking with causion Don't wry you have a long life ahead🖤

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure this must be a really distressing situation for you. Have you tried talking about the kind of liberties you are seeking and what they can do about it. It’s always said to sit and negotiate. Don’t feel anxious about your future rather have an action plan. Set a goal and set small milestones. Keep working on it and acknowledge your worth.
