I understand your situation perfectly clearly. Ive heard. "You need to set yourself a goal. Get a job and save up money. You'll be much happier if you do because then you can get a house with a garden." Also. "You need to change your way of thinking. Keep at it and they'll lock you away with all of the crazies. Just stick to getting a job and things will be fine." And. "How can you be depressed? People have it worse off than you do." To be honest I'd rather be 'locked away with the crazies' than having my dad on my case all of the time.

Unlike you, I no longer live with parents. I became estranged from my dad late last year when he sold his house to move in with his fiance. I now live with my older brother and we often sit in separate rooms. Plus, he doesn't tell me what to do with my life. My dad get's onto me via the phone. I usually wait until he hangs up and start cursing under my breath. So I'm very passive aggressive with him. But I wouldn't recommend it.

I agree with what Rohag has to say. You'd be better off relocating.
