Rebecca,

It sounds like there's alot going on for you and you know how to vocalize what it is you need, time alone. Can you maybe vocalize that clearly to your family? Maybe have a sign on your door when you don't want to be disturbed? I would hope that would work but with a family that competes for the 'worst' title I doubt it. Try and come up with some creative ways to be alone. You can always be alone in a bathroom, that's totally normal and okay. So maybe take a long bath or shower, that may help.

I know it's not much but I hope it's helped in some small way.

Love and Hugs,
Tara
P.S. You're quote seems appropriate. "If you're going through hell, keep going..."
