I am 16 too. I know how you feel. My mother was an alcoholic for 6 years (she is sober now) and my father is currently a marijuana user. My family is very dysfunctional. I currently take zoloft for my depression. It works a little. And I see a psychiatrist and therapist. It doesn't solve all my problems, but it helps some.
I am also VERY anti-social, I have no friends because I am quiet and labeled as 'emo'.
Believe me, you are NOT crazy. It sounds like anger/depression. Definitley talk to your mom about seeing a therapist (if you currently don't) and see what the therapist says. I wish you the best of luck, and if you need to talk e-mail.
I can relate!
Yeah i think you are depressed talk to
someone you trust and let them know how
you feel...
And try to get out more and make Friends
that's what may be making
you feel gloomy/emo/ depressed.....
depressed. see a counselor
I was totally closed off for the longest time, but I learned a few tricks 2 help me deal. First of all, get used to seeing your B.F. after school. Maybe even make his house like a second home. My G.F.'s house is the only other place besides my basement I ever really feel comfortable in. secondly, try 2 go out 4 pizza or something short like that for 5-10 minutes after school. maybe even ask your friends to help you come out after school a little bit. Good luck.
The kind of long-term trauma you've experienced *can* permanently upset the balance of chemicals in your body. Perhaps the good news is that you're still quite young, so you can expect some imbalance regardless, which will be rectified with time.
But you might like to see your doctor, get an opinion as to whether some treatment now could help in the short, and long, term.

Go see a doctor maybe. Try to get out of the prison.
