Don't hurt yourself further though, ok?
If you go to the ER, if your case is "rough" then you would probably be able to stay overnight or for a few days. It would be a good choice if you do reach that point. While I was in the hospital, they set up for me a system that has caseworkers come to my house and take me out of my home to go places and escape from my home. Also, if you can provide any type of evidence about your family ex: recording of them freaking out, you will have a good place for you to start as far as getting out of your house and trying to fix your situation. I highly believe that if you have a small digital camera and get a few quiet snapshots as well as a recording during one of your father/mother's "tantrums" when it gets really bad, you will definately get the ball rolling and moving fast. If you ever want to PM me, I'm always there for anyone to chat or give support/help with anything. Keep me posted, I'd love to hear your progress. I firmly believe that you can get through this barrier. I am also just turned 16 and I know exactly what your battling.
Sending you the best wishes possible and support

The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
