Bummed Out

I'm sorry to bring some negative emotions into our wonderful community, but I'm feeling really bummed out today.
Yesterday my mom had freaked out on me over something personal that I'll explain later, and I'm really just miserable.
Despite me being twenty-two years old, she has decided to basically think I was twelve again and she has banned me from seeing friends, leaving the house unless I'm with her, my dad, or my dreadful sister. I understand not seeing my friends due to COVID-19 however I'm not even allowed to call them unless she's allowed to listen. All because some weirdo on Instagram commented something weird on it, and now if I go online my mom goes into freak out mode, despite her seeing me block and report the guy.
She shipped me up to my sister's house, where it is dreadfully hot because my sister and her husband don't believe in at least opening a window. And all day my sister is screaming at her husband for not doing every chore on the list while she sits there and does nothing. My mom locked my main social media accounts too, so my friends overseas have no idea if I'm okay or not. She said I can talk to them again in October. OCTOBER.
And I'll be allowed to come home in October.
This is so dreadful, and I know I sound like a spoiled brat, but I can't stand how extreme my mom can be sometimes. No wonder people think I'm still 15 or 16, and how I still haven't finished college yet- she won't even let me take online classes in the fall.
So, I guess I'm going to be on here more since it's the only place I can really come online to without any issues. So I hope you guys are ready to talk to me a lot haha!

Thanks. It's gonna be tough, but at least my sister's dog has been keeping me company. Otherwise, this is all just so terrible.

I had a job and was fired because of her constantly calling them to check if I'm there or not, every shift, 10 times for every 2-3 hours. But I did end up saving a lot for the 2.5 years I was there so I'm going to look into getting into a place or even moving in with my one friend who has a room for rent.

It sounds like your mother is overreacting. There are many weirdos online, and we can't always avoid meeting them, but at least we can block, report and move on. One crazy person doesn't have to affect the rest of your activities online. Can you afford to rent a room somewhere else? I think that would be the best option.

Your Mom is so extreme. She must be very worried about you that she is acting that way. I am sorry she is acting that way.

Well I don't know you or your mother, but something got my attention, what was the awful post that this guy from IG posted on your profile? What if your mother wants to protect you from something wrong happening to you? However I really think your mom is taking stuff so over the top!

The only one who can control the situation is you. Unless there is a reason for her to have legal control over you, she can't control you like that. Get a job and move out.
