Parents are to much

[Unregistered]

I need to get out of the house I live in. I have depression and it doesn't help with the family I have. I'm constantly stressed, I've had a rough life, and i unfortunately do hurt myself. And every little fight I get into with my family, whether it be my siblings or a parent, they make my blood pressure go out the roof and makes me want to do stupid things. I usually do drugs, or drink , or cut to feel better. But getting back to the subject I need to leave..or I'm going to go crazy by the time I turn 18...I don't want to be anything like my parents. They are just ruining me. I can't stand it..I've honestly thought about taking my own life a couple times. I take medication but It doesn't help, it's the 4th different pill. I just can't do it anymore, I'm more afraid they are going to push me to the point where I really can't take it anymore..then I do something stupid.
