Should I be having nervous brekadowns at the age of 16?

Lately, I've been finding myself very stressed. Of course I'm a teenager and I have to deal with school. I'm not a bad kid, I stay to myself and I do what I'm supposed to do, school and finish school, but I do have a social life, well somewhat. All my life my mother has protected me, never really got to see my father, but she's always protected me. She and my father are very sick now, and its hard seeing them like that. Ive been trying to help my mom get through this and just recently started talking to my father again, but its like my mom she gets antsy and crabby and she lashes out at me, and sometimes I just can't take it. I've been losing weight rapidly, I went from 155 to 128 in over 3 weeks, but my mom pretends like that wasn't so, but I know it was. She hardly has the time to take me to the doctor because she has to deal with my disabled brother (her son), she takes him the most places. I just dont know what to do. And I think I'm on the verge of going crazy.

Honey take a deep breath and know that this too shall pass..it is a hard time it sounds like in your life right now..but it wont last this way forever...find ways to get the stress out..even sometimes yelling in a pillow..you have alot of valid problems here...love your mom and dad where they are at and take some B vitamin 100 which will help you with the nerves and weight..stess can kill...are there other symptoms other than weight loss? keep lots of water going and try to place your attention to happy things...what we give our attention to grows...your 16 you say..start looking at what you are going to do with your life...go to career websites and start planning past the problems this helps so much..have hope...things always works themselves out. Give yourself a break and go to somewhere you like and forget all the crap for a day...get a breath of fresh air...it is always hard to see our parents go downhill, they are supposed to be our strength...but you are your own parent now and you need to love them where they are at...a good saying is by the inch it is a cinch...by the yard it is hard...write down your feelings in a journal..it really helps..it gets it out of you and doesnt build up...and remember this too shall pass...things will get better...and prayer always helps...
