Answer 1

I gather you are a girl. It is not at all unusual for a 16 year old girl to have the problems you describe, and the help you need is readily available.

But you won't find it in any direct sense on Yahoo!Answers. All we can do is make a recommendation, which follows:

Your emotional pain is the result of strange things going on with your body and brain chemistry. Part of this is genetic, part of it may result from dietary problems and/or lack of exercise, and part of it may be female adolescent stuff that will go away.

But none of it is your fault, or the result of any deficiency in you as a person or the way you live your life. You may want to write that down and stick it up somewhere where you will see it every morning when you get up!

It sounds like it may run in your family, and you need to have a plan for helping yourself if your family refuses to help. But this is not likely to be something you can "tough out." You should seek professional help. The starting point is probably your school counselor. If there isn't one, try the local Department of Social Services or the County Mental Health center. It may be embarrassing to admit that you need that kind of help, but, Hey! What's a little embarrassment when it might mean that your life will become livable and joyful and worthwhile?

I had to do it at about your age. It was well worth it. My parents were really upset because they thought it meant I didn't like the way they had raised me. So we had to talk quite a bit, and as I learned more from my counselor, I was able to help them understand. Perhaps you can do the same.

Another approach you can take is through church resources. The Roman Catholic church, the Methodist, Episcopalian, or Lutheran denominations have counselling services in most cities that are staffed by professionals who will help you without trying to ram their religion down your throat. So if you are more comfortable with that approach, see a pastor in one of those denominations.

But start right away. This is not your fault, and every person deserves to feel better. See your school counselor on Monday morning.

Best of luck...(!)

Answer 2

If you suffer from bipolar-disorder, please talk to your therapist about what you are feeling. If you aren't seeing a therapist talk to your parents or a school counselor about setting up an appointment.

Your brother is growing up and his interest in his girlfriend/friends as opposed to family is normal. It is not about you at all.

Answer 3

It sounds to me that you are in desperate need of attention.
I'm not saying this in a negative way. With your brother diverting his attention from you to his girlfriend who is so 'perfect' to everyone....it is causing you to become depressed. You obviously miss your brother's attention...even though it was
negative...it was still 'brother' attention which was special to you.
Try to talk to your brother, when alone with him. Tell him you miss spending time with him alone, as brothers. Try to set up one day a week...maybe to go bowling. or the batthing cages- just the two of you. Express that you need him and miss him in your life.

Please take the time to sit down with your parents, when alone, and discuss this with them. Depression can lead you down quicker than you think....so please don't play with this.

As was said above. Have them help you seek assistance.

Good luck and God Bless.

perchance you may desire to bypass surpassed your mom and brother, and ask the lady chum herself if perchance she might desire to teach you the thank you to do artwork or sewing. it relatively is which you're coming for the duration of as jealous on your loved ones, and in case you attempt to alter the form you're coping with the placement, they'll attempt to contain you extra. better of success!
