My mother stresses me out? How can i move forward?

Im sorry if this is not the right forum! (i also apologize about my weird English)

My mother has always been quite controlling and that stresses me out a lot and it always influences my decisions. Decisions such as what to eat, how to dress, where to go..

I dont have a lot of freedom in what i get to choose for myself. When i try to choose what i like, she puts me off and starts to emotionally abuse me whenever she gets the chance so that i will regret not doing what she wants me to do.

I never was allowed to go out with my friends alone, although it became a little easier since i joined university (im turning 22 in a few months) and that too, i gotta take her permission a week before meeting my friends. I started working as a freelancer artist and i make some good money every weekend, i get to buy myself whatever i want online like make up, clothes...etc but she starts telling me how ugly they look on me and that i should only wear a long black gown.

Now the thing is, im planning to lie to her and tell her that my classes will start at 3 on tuesdays (it actually starts at 6) but i want to lie so that i will be able to go to the mall next to my university alone .... but again, im afraid that a relative of mine will see me and will tell her and that's gonna put me in trouble.

What shall i do? Im trying to seek some more freedom

What are you dependent on her for? Do you need a roof over your head?

If you are making good money, why not moving out as fast as you can?

You have to stand up to her really. If this is difficult can you get someone else on your side to help you?

I'm having issues too. I'm at the point where I feel I may have to cut my mum off completely. The more I distance myself from her for breathing space the more angry she gets. It's impossible to have a reasonable talk with her about it.
