    I think I'm emotionally disturbed
    I live with my mother, my uncle, and two sisters. My uncle tries to act like he's my father even though he and my mom are engaged and he's my dad's brother. My sisters are always trying to get me into trouble, and I'm always getting yelled at. I'm 16, and my sisters are 11 and 14. They always try to get me in trouble, and my mom and uncle always believe them.

    I don't know what to do anymore. I'm always crying, and my boyfriend tries to comfort me, but that doesn't help. They know how they make me feel. Ever since my dad walked out, they treat me differently. I don't know how much more I can takes. I was bulimic at one time because of them. It's becoming too stressful for me. I can't take it. They say I don't do anything, yet I'm always cleaning house and stuff for them.

    I don't know what I should do. I'm always crying because of the stress. I've talked to counselors about it, and they don't help me. I think I could be bipolar because I have very slight mood changes. I can be happy one minute, then snap out the next. Other than that, I think I'm mental and emotionally disturbed.

    I don't know. Somebody tell me what you think. I'm only 16 and don't have any other family in this city. I feel like an outsider in my house, but am too afraid to run away. When I go to my boyfriend's house or my best friend's house, it feels so warm and welcoming, but when I enter my house, I feel all the negative energy coming at me. My sisters basically want me dead, yet I've never done anything to them.

    I'm always crying, always upset, and, sometimes when they bother me out of nowhere, it makes me mad. My mom and uncle know they do, but they don't want to believe me about anything. Like one day as sometimes happens over a show I watch (my mom doesn't want me watching those reality shows), a commercial for one was on while I was flipping through the channels. My sister said, "Oh, we're not supposed to be watching this." I wasn't watching it; it was just the commercial. Sshe went to her room to see if it was on, and it was, so she said I was watching the show. I did say "Next time on the so-and-so show..." and then another commercial came on.

    They recorded me, and I didn't know it. They used their MP3 players like interrogations of my baby sister and me. I didn't know she was recording me, sod I said "no," and then they were pausing parts and making me sound like I said bad things to them when I didn't.

    I don't like to be yelled at. It's just very stressful for me. I'm not doing well in school because of the stress. I'm very heartbroken here at home. On top of that, I'm grounded, and my sisters are trying their best to get me grounded for a longer period.

    I think you need some punctuation marks first.

    Please don't diagnose yourself. It's the worst thing you can do.

    What is right in your life?

    What I want you to do first (I know you can, and you will do a good job too) is go back over your post and add punctuation marks and capital letters. We have to start small to give ourselves some self-esteem and get a pat on the back from others. Fix any spelling problems too.

    Pretend I'm your teacher whom you want to please and get an A from.

    Honey, I remember going threw things like that as a teenager. Feeling like no one understood me and having siblings and cousins who really got on my nerves. Please be advised that you've got maybe two or three more years in your mom's home. Try to concentrate on positive things like getting your grades in order, find some books that interest you about maybe the career your interested in, a place you'd like to go or maybe a person you look up to. Preferably some one positive. You really have to find a way to not concentrate so much on the negative things in your household. Your not emotionally disturbed your not the only one who has experienced things like this. Just remember you have to make it threw the bad times in order to see the good time's don't give up start to planning your life. Decide what you want out of your life and start making plans to make it happen. One day you may just be counseling teenagers on how to make it threw some of the things your going threw right now. Be strong and stay positive. :)
