Alright, we are east indian(look middle eastern) and we live in the USA and my parent's are paranoid people will want to hurt us if we go outside. I tried explaining to my parents nothing is going to happen because no one pays me any mind outside anyways but they don't care.
They think I will get killed or hurt if I go outside. So they try their best to overprotect me. I now have depression, anxiety, learned helplessness.
They became overprotective since moving here. They always think people are against them and want to kill me becaue I look like a middle eastern man.
I explained to them that I am not a muslim but an atheist but they don't care. They don't let us( me and my brothers) go outside often especially at night.
I am 26 now and I have depression, anxiety, leanred helplessness because of this. Can anyone give a advice on what I can do?
I know I posted this before but I went to psych ER that day and didn't have a chance to read the replies and advices.

Dude you need to get the fuck away from your parents. Give it all you got and try to find a normal life. Can't go much into detail since I'm in a hurry but I'm sure other anons will fill in.

Where do you live? Some people in some cities in some counties in some states can be complete dickheads despite being a US citizen. Liberals will try to hump your leg and be your human shield and conservatives will not give you a shit unless it is important. You're probably not that important. Radical hill billy, aka backward-ism lame stream media idiot non-fact-checking-generalists will probably try to murder you.
Get a job and move out duh.
26! You do understand you were legally free to fuck off from them a long time ago , if them keeping you in is making you feel depressed and anxious I'd tell them to fuck off and go out when you want to go out? If you do it you'll show example to your brothers that when they come of age to leave they can without feeling an obligation to stay just because your parents are worried
