I want to move out of toxic household

Im 22 and I live with my parents. My mom used to physically abuse me but stopped when I was 17 now it's just emotional and verbal. Im an apprentice at my job but to become full time I have to achieve my bachelor's degree. I just completed my associates. I struggled so much with my associates due to poor mental health and this toxic environment. I make $1500 a month but I have a $600 monthly car note. Where I live, a car is required to get anywhere there's no buses that go to my job. Here most apartments are about $1500 and you have to make 4 times the amount of rent. If I became full time I'd be able to move out but I can't bare to wait two more years.

I have been secretly diagnosed with autism, bpd and severe anxiety. Unfortunately I don't receive support for these mental disorders. My mom found out I was going to therapy and started stalking my therapist and it was too stressfull trying to hide it. She's one of those parents that don't believe in mental health etc so I receive no support and not an ounce of patience from her either. Im not even allowed to go to the doctor by myself either she forces me to let her go and then when the doctor tries to give me medication she doesn't let me take it saying that I can cure PCOS and hidrenitis suppurativa, etc by going vegetarian. I'm losing my mind being in this house. My memory is horrible I forget my own age and birthday, I forget what happened the day before, I forget so fast and easy, taking tests is hard because I forget everything if I don't have notes with me. That's why Im scared of doing two more years of college. I feel like I'm going braindead. I can barely focus or understand what someone is saying verbally. I feel dizzy and weak a lot. Im not allowed to cook unless I cook for everybody but I'm can't afford to buy groceries for a 5 person household every week. I want to do meal plans for my health bc I don't eat enough and we eat too much processed food.

I'm financially dependent on my mom and I've been doing my best to get rid of that. I can't even journal because she goes through my room and reads my writings and use it against me. She goes through my phone, my bank account. I tried to go to the doctor anyway without her permission, and she got pissed and tried to kick me out. I have no one else to live with but my dad, but she gets pissed just from me asking to spend the night with him. And I got fed up months and tried to move in with him but she took my car key and held me hostage and threstened to shoot my stepmother when she tried to pick me up and she trashed my room and broke my laptop. I'm so tired of this women. I can't stand being here anymore. I have no help. No support. No patience. Nothing. I'm so burnt out and it's getting worse. I have so much brain fog. Im terrified of doing two more years of school but it seems I have no choice. I just want to leave but if I move with dad it puts them in danger and risk my mom stalking him and his wife. My mom is like having a toxic obsessive ex girlfriend that youre stuck with. I'm treated like a maid. I can't deal with it anymore. I genuinely have no clue what to do. Anytime I do anything she twists it around and makes it worse and get sympathy from our family and make me out to be the bad person. And she tries to kick me out and then when I'm okay with leaving she does something to keep me from being able to leave.

I have no freedom in this house. Please help.
