I'm so sorry to hear/read about your troubles. If possible, I would recommend that you talk to a therapist or someone you trust about this, if that feels like the right thing to you. There's no need to tell your family if that makes you uncomfortable (I know how many people simply can't understand), but if there's someone you could talk to in real life who could help you with this, that sounds like the best idea, in my humble opinion.
Sometimes a good distraction can take our minds off what is bothering us (not to ignore anything, just to help take the edge off), and might I suggest a mutual friend of ours, Mr. Harry James Potter? Whenever I feel down, I reread the books and nothing makes me feel calmer than going back to my home, Hogwarts.
I hope this isn't too random and that you can find some help soon. Virtual hugs from this crazy HP fan!

I really hope you get help, it sounds like you would benefit from talking to someone you trust about your situation. Thinking of you.
