so when i was born i never ate meet or fish, when i was 6 i tried meat and chocked and didnt eat meat till i was 13 , but still dont eat fish. when i was 9 i was diagnosed with anorexic bolomia and was bullied for this, which caused my depression, in 3 years i put on weight and began to be bullied because i was fat. im now 17 and till last year i had been self-harming and considerd taking my life a few times.i have moved 4 schools and now in college. i wont get close to anyone and have trouble letting people in because my brother got in the wrong croud and threatned me and my younger sister with a knife. i also have a fear of death and as my dad has several conditions which mean he could die and anytime, i took time of school and now college and nearlly kicked out because im scared im going to go out and get a phone call to say my dads died. my grandad died 2 years ago and i could not grieve for him because i was supporting my nan and mum so had to look after my sister and 2 and 3 year old brothers at the time. then i moved in with my dad and now my sister and as well as college and friends, i am a full time carrer for both my dad and my sister.

Hello there.

It sounds like you've been through some really tough stuff, and taking on the role of carer for family members is a huge responsibility. Are social services involved in your Dad's care, because they can support with carers, financial assistance and respite for you? X

If not you should go and explain your situation and how you are feeling. Your doctor should also be able to put you in touch with social services and access any help available to you.

Melanie Hi you have got some sound advice here. Why are you looking after everyone? You

Are 17. Your Mom needs to be supporting you, go to your GP and show them what you

Have written and I am certain they will help you.

You must look after yourself, your Mom and Nan are adults and should be well able

To care for themselves. I am not one bit surprised that you feel Depressed.

Mindfulness techniques might help, healthunlocked.com/anxietys...

You have a lot of your plate, which looks like it might be increasing your stress and anxiety/ depression.

Finding a balance between your emotions and your rational thinking can be hard but should help you cope more.

Good luck
