From what i've read you still seem stronger than what i'd ever be if i went through all that at such a young age.
I'm a year younger and i been through 3 out 4 of the things you have been through.
So i think i could be able to help and relate.
I think it could be depression.
You're obviously under a lot of stress.
You probably have a lot of anxiety.
i think you should focus on school, join a club, get into sports it will help you get your mind off things.
It will help release anger and cure a lot of stress in your life.
Doing those kind of things helped me out a lot.
Maybe you could also go to a therapist i went when my parents divorced it helped me out a lot.
It's good to talk to someone and vent.
They don't know you so they can't judge and it's good to open up.
Well i hope this helped you.
I wish you the best.
Take care.

It sounds like you're suffering from some sort of stress disorder, causing you to lose focus, mental fogginess, and intense fears/worries. Just go to the doctor and s/he'll either prescribe you some calming meds or recommend you to a dif doctor that can deal with your problem better. Honestly though, your problem seems pretty by-the-book and I doubt he'll have a problem dealing with it.
Consuming alcohol, though, is far from out of your control. Cut ties with your friends that drink, or at least leave when the alcohol comes out until you have the guts to say "no." If your parents are supplying the alcohol or you steal it from them, make an effort to not look for/at the place where its stored. Alcohol is an unhealthy and cowardly way of dealing with stress; you're just running away from the problem. Now that you've realized what's causing these symptoms, go to a doc and seek help asap.
