The only other thing I can think of is could you possibly bring any friends with you on an outing to the cinema or for dinner? They might inspire your parents to be a bit more civil, and you might feel safer with friends around?
Hope you are okay. Hang in there! It's only a temporary situation, it will be over soon.

You and I are on the same page. I got both ativan and vistrail on the ready for a family outing. The problem is that I get very spacey and kinda act like a zombie on the meds and that annoys my mother and I'm worried if I don't put on some show of loving being around them, I'll get cut off.
I've miraculously somehow managed to not relapse into self harm during all of this. I don't know how I've avoided it, but I've been here 10 days without doing it and I'm going to force myself through the next 10.

Like take a proactive stance that cuts off their ability to even ask you crap. Hey even if you have to exaggerate a little.

My T and I already told her that I need a schedule. The problem is that the schedule my mom could come up with was a literal list of things I would never do. She also has no respect for boundaries at ALL so unless I'm literally not in the house, she will come bother me. She came in my room and started talking to me about how I need to be "part of the family" last night at 11pm when all of my lights were off and I told her 2 hours previous that I was going to bed early because I didn't feel good. I've been saying I've been feeling cranky and sick because I'm on my period (I'm desperate okay) but I've been using that excuse for like almost too long now. I need a new "illness" that can't be treated by a doctor and shows no symptoms she can diagnose (she is a doctor).
I've been trying to spend as much time out of the house as humanly possible. I'm so glad I have my license now. I have no clue how I functioned here without it.
And for the people who are going to tell me I need to be financially independent, I know and I'm applying for jobs for when I go home. I'm trying to start preparing myself.
