(((Anony))) You can't take care of others if you are sick yourself, especially if trying to take care of others - even beloved family members - just adds to your sickness, your dis-ease.
I would nicely let your father, mom and siblings know that you are feeling very overwhelmed by life right now and need to really concentrate on taking care of yourself. (I hope you are getting some professional help?) HINT - if your family is supportive and accepts that, you are lucky. If any member says out right or insinuates that you are being selfish, THEY have a problem and you should especially keep a distance from that person.
Also, tell your mom and sisters that they need to talk to each other themselves. It's too stressful for you to be the *messenger* and you will not do that anymore. It's their responsibility to talk with each other.
Keep posting here so we know how you are doing and can support you in your efforts. You will not feel bad forever if you take steps to take care of yourself.
