My mom thinks I’m weak for being suicidal

Honestly, I get what you mean. I gained weight in high school because my mom locked me up in the house like an animal and didn’t let me do any extracurriculars until it was too late to count for my college applications. She also ruined the way my brain worked and eventually I just started doing things “for the resume.” I also got addicted to my phone in the meantime and this was during the height of social media. When I say I hate Islam, I mean it. It is because my mom treated me like an animal, not a human being. She doesn’t even have empathy for when I tell her that I have depressing thoughts sometimes. I don’t care about what other Islamic families do though as long as they don’t harm their children’s mental health so me having a personal disdain for Islam doesn’t mean I’m Islamophobic, like white liberals like to say. And other people in my family have the nerve to comment on my body. Like I literally don’t give a fuck what others think and that is fucking normal in western cultures ESPECIALLY outside of high school, but of course Asians have unhealthy ways of thought. Also I feel like I get put down more by my family than I get encouraged to actually accomplish anything in my life. So MuCh fOr FaMiLy!!!! Don’t get me started on my extended family because they are the definition of toxic and even the cousins follow people on Instagram just to snitch to the aunties and uncles that DON’T give a fuck about improving their anyone’s self esteem and just want to manipulate people into following their fucking religion because they don’t know of any other coping mechanisms for feeling lonely in America and just communicating with people in their own family instead of actually taking the time to meet other people and learn from other FUCKING backgrounds. I realize I am typing this in rage.
