Update: Called social services, they referred me to mental health. Mental health said dad can't be doing the things he's doing, ESPECIALLY if he's not my guardian. He shouldn't be my guardian but whether or not he legally is, I have no idea. Well earlier today when the psych and one of his 'team' was out here, the team member laughed at dad's comment about him wanting to hit me and then she said that yes, he can do that because he's my father. The mental health person I called said this behavior was 'questionable'. Not sure about being able to get an advocate or lawyer just yet, but I'll try.
Definitely take Eliscu2's advice and contact Mindfreedom.  They might be able to help.

You know I tried to contact MindFreedom already..... actually it seems impossible. First I emailed the email on the website, it kicked back my email. Next I called them, but got the voicemail/answering machine recorded message after it ringing several times.

Well today my psychiatrist came over then I took that opportunity to ask for an independent evaluation. That'll be the first step...
My dad was really exasperated, I guess. He said he's going to 'stop worrying about me', and I can 'do everything on my own from now on'. So maybe its a good thing.

Thank you for posting, FemAnon, of course you can contact me by PM. Maybe its just my area, but looking for a job is extremely difficult, I tried getting jobs at many places from highschool up to a few years back, no good. I've never had a job in my life. I'm currently majoring in Web Design, my old major was IT, but gave up on it after only managing to earn seven credits in a total of 2 1/2 years. Also I could not stay at the dorms as this is a community college I go to and they do not exist on campus. Actually I am having trouble with a couple of my classes currently, especially the math as I never was good at math. I hope my new major does not turn out like my old one. I hope to hear more from you soon.

Niles also said I should add in a couple facts... my dad is so overcontrolling he forces anything he hears from either other people or the TV news onto me... for example, he heard from some unknown source that peanutbutter is killing people across the country. So he found a spoon with some peanutbutter in my kitchen sink and yelled at me for eating the peanutbutter when he explicitly stated not to.
Another example of his control freak nature was the fact I can't do ANYTHING with my body that I want... as in, no tattoos, no extra piercings other than the standard one hole in each ear which he apparently regrets because its spoken against in the Bible... and he flipped out when I got red highlights in my hair.
A final note I would like to point out is he threatens to beat me with a belt constantly which I've been told he in fact cannot do, and he claims if I were to call the police on him if he does so, they would laugh at me because I have a mental problem. He hasn't hit me yet, though.

Ok it's me again... to let you know I've registered, my name's Olivia. And I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to get a second opinion and a lawyer...
