Sometimes writing what you feel can make you feel better, or calling someone and talking to them even if you don't talk about what is bothering you. Walikng or exercising can also help. You could try a new hobby or a book club. If you really feel unable to cope please call one of these numbers.LifeLine: 1-800-273-8255Depression Hotline: 630-482-9696

 Hi there, i'd be depressed too in your shoes. The one thing i'm sure about is everything changes. I know you feel you should be out enjoying the summer, but if your older sisters are too selfish to share the burden and your dad won't listen, i'd try having a word with your mum about how you feel. You'll be 18 soon and an adult so you'll have more choices. There will be loads more summers for you to enjoy i promise. Plan something to look forward to, that always works for me. Could you and your boyfriend plan a trip for next year maybe? Looking after kids and hospital visiting is really stressfull, i think you're doing a grand job. good luck sweetie x

Everyone needs somebody from time to time, it makes us human. Your under pressure right now and so is your dad so when he shouts try and be supportive, hes only taking it out on you because your the nearest thing too him right now and hes releasing emotional anger to the ones he loves. Its good that you help out with your sisters but remind yourself to take some 'me' time out where you spend an hour doing a thing on your own for yourself making you feel better, one hour each day will make you feel so much better. Your right, its your last summer yet your left with a list of priorities get your head in the right place, keep the balance of family and fun its ok to have the two i think we need a mix to keep us sane!
Talking through how your feeling will help you feel so much better, i know its difficult but if you get a few minutes spare talk to your dad, im not saying a big deep and emotional conversation justa chat asking how he is etc if he sees that your caring and taking an interest im sure itll work both ways.
If ou ever feel the need to talk then this is a great site for it, everyones understanding and supportive giving different views, so feel free to ask and be yourself you dont need to hold back never worry about being strange or being different were all unique and we all go through emotions at certain times, there isnt a wrong or right way to control it, it simply makes you the person you are.
Best of luck
