Sometimes i dont feel like living. They dont let me do anything. Im highly frustrated. I am going to be 20 soon and only have a semester done in college while my friends are going to their third year. They cut my plans everytime i have one. I dont know what to do. I dont do bad things im always in my house. Im very tired. Life stoped making sense a long time ago. I jus feel no one will help me because thats pretty much how they have painted it to me.

 You complain of
being tired
you don't feel like living
you feel alone
it sounds to me like you have clinical depression which is not a weakness it's a medical disorder that will require medication and therapy to correct.
if you have a primary care physician book an appointment to discuss your options for treatment.
and once you are feeling less depressed than we can help you assess how to get out of your parents home with as little conflict as possible.
but until you address the depression you will feel bad.
now granted it may be situational and once you are out of yoru parents home you will begin to feel better.... but until then... therapy and anti-depressants can help.

As you are now an adult you are now old enough to make your own desions in life and by them trying to take your freedom they are suppressing you. This is a form of abuse and you can get help. Because this is not your fault it is down to issues that you . So you need to take back control this means living away from your
parents maybe with a friend either you need to stand up. And show
them that if they treat you unfairly then they will not its also a hood idea to talk to fries about it or even someone at your college. Or go to your doctor so that he can find someone to talk to you about it.
But keep your head up girl you are young and there is a whole world out there for you to explore and although it seems hard right now it will get better. But you need to find your path and find out and be the you that you want to be and none can tell you otherwise.
Hope this helps

Perhaps doing volunteer work someplace far from home (there are places who offer accommodation, food so you wouldn't have to worry with living expenses) or perhaps doing exchange like being an au pair or whatever, there are many options that are cheap and would give you some time away from your parents.I'm suggesting this because a change of scenario may benefit you, but perhaps you should really think about seeking therapy as you seem to be a bit melancholic and frustrated and that could lead to a depression.As to college, try not to think about it too much, you'll finish this sooner or later, enjoy while your're at uni, you'll miss it later.
