If you are in public school in the United States and your emotion problems are affecting your schoolwork, the school district is obligation to make some (but not much) effort to help under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Wikipedia has a reasonably good summary. Although the stereotypical child with special needs is developmentally disabled, serious emotional disturbance is an eligibility category under the IDEA.
In short, presenting this problem to the school district might solve the resource or unreasonable authority figure issues that you mentioned. Beware, seeking this kind of help will set bureaucratic machinery in motion (such as an annual meeting to plan how to deal with your issues). Additionally, if your participation in this type of program is obvious, it will lead your peers to label you as “special needs,” which is a low-status label. I present the possibility only to suggest possible in-person resources available to you.
Sorry, but I need to say this: This post does not create an attorney-client relationship with you or any other reader of this post.
