why do i feel like this?

Question

i have felt not right for a long time. i have always had trouble with my weight and have been called about it off various Family members and friends. and growing up wasn't hard but sometimes because of extended families having problems (divorce, Attempted suicide, Arguments, Thrown out the house, Death) i didn't know weather i was coming or going. 

and about 18 months ago it all got to me i couldn't stop crying and had panic attacks and the littlest thing would set me off. and i don't think i've ever recovered form it enterly and sometimes i still just find myself crying over the littlest thing i did wrong or that hurt me.

i find that i hate my extended family and want nothing to do with them. i'm just sick of them i don't know weather it's the age i'm at (16) or their something wrong with me. i know they are not bad people but sometimes they hurt me in ways i can't explain. 

i don't know what i'm asking i just need to get it off my chest.

I'm 15, and I feel exactly the same way. Well, I try not to let it get to me as much as you have, but I've come to realise that I'm not very fond of my extended family.

Infact, my situation is the opposite to yours, my family have always picked on me for being too skinny. I haven't got any eatin disorders, and I actually eat fatty foods, but I just have a high metabolism.

I can't wait to be rid of them when I'm older. I know that's not a nice thing to say, but I always dread family events because I'm so aware of my body and how I look.

Even though I can't bring myself to do these things, I'll still say them because hopefully they'll help. Be confident with your body. Be glad that in a few years time, you won't have to hear from them for a long time.
I always try my best to avoid the people..they suck don't they?

Im sorry you are going through this.  Family can be difficult to deal with. Best thing to do is keep a distance from those who hurt you. Life is hard enough to deal with let alone having to put up with people who put you down and make you feel low about yourself.  Don't allow them to do that to you.  You are a special person. Don't ever let anyone, family, friends whoever tell you otherwise.
There is nothing wrong with you.  You have been through alot already and you are simply protecting yourself from being hurt more than you already have been.  If the important people in your life can't understand that, it's their problem. Keep your chin up, believe in yourself, never give up hope and focus on your future.  Take care of you.

With that kind of family situation, no wonder you want nothing to do with them. Loved ones can hurt you more easily than non-loved ones. 

To answer your question, you haven't felt right because of the tremendous amount of stress you're going through. Isolate yourself from them as much as possible, latch on to any solid, stable figure in your life and try to figure out a way to let these blows you're being dealt make you a stronger person.

If you are happy with the way you are then thats all that matters, if you want to lose a bit of weight then you must do it beacause YOU want to and not because others think you should, also if you want to cry then you cry I am 35 and sometimes having a good cry does you good. KEEP YOUR CHIN UP KID.
