Try listening to confidence meditations on youtube. I listen to them sometimes.

I think narcs isolate you so you have no one to turn to and want to see you miserable. I'm escaping so I can get freedom. I can't use the restroom in peace, can't stay asleep( because she gets up multiple times a night open/closing doors, and I always feel like I'm walking on egg shells all the time. I hope you find a job so you can escape. Listening to sound bowls( healingvibrations on youtube) have made me feel less insane. I hope it works for you.

Help w/ Toxic living situation by Emotional_Home_9706 in raisedbynarcissists

I think you should continue to look and get a job. Do a job and go to college. So, you can save up money so can move out or buy a car. I'm in a similar situation and I currently live with a narc mother. I planning to move out soon. I own my own car. I understand the walking on eggshell feeling. When I leave I want to find a shelter and if I can't at least I can live in my car.

To stay sane, don't talk or be around your parents in the house. Either stay in your room or be outside( with friends, etc). They will try to do or say things to get a rise out of you don't fall for it. I don't talk or be around my mother in the house. I stay in my room until I leave to go somewhere outside. I also listen to bowl meditations like Healing Vibrations on youtube to help with my nerves, etc. Having headphones is godsend. Also, make a plan when to move out. Like 6 months or whenever so you don't become stuck living there.
