how do i handle this situation? my mom is really pessimistic about my own future plans.

I dropped out of college 3 months ago because I was depressed, lonely, anxious and suicidal. My mom didn't understand me and forced me to move in her apartment. She made me learn islam to "purify" my heart

one day I was taken to a psychiatrist. He first took their side because they don't know psychology. He told my family to treat me as a young adult. He also told me that I should have a conversation with my mom about my plans.

First, I felt he is hypocrite. my family didn't take his advice and treat me like shit till this day. whenever I talk about my plans, they say I can't achieve all of those. I wanted to start a business. my mom said "what if you fail?" I didn't even start it and they judge my future plans. she either judges my plans or turns her head away because I'm not on a path which I was supposed to be on
