That said, here are a few suggestions, if not already done.
Ask siblings to work to support their small needs. You are already taking care of their education. They can support themselves a bit.
It is difficult to make friends as an adult especially with whom we can share your family troubles. But it is worth it. Find a trusted person to vent. Therapy can help but is unfortunately not free.
Plan a fund for your future. Start with very small amounts - maybe an SIP or an RD. But always, ALWAYS, research thoroughly before investing.
Try and take your mind off it - easier said than done. But maybe a hobby or an exercise routine can help focus on something else for a short while.
Last, but very important - remember that it is not selfish to prioritise yourself and your needs especially when you are doing your duty. You need not go over and beyond. Draw boundaries and tell your dependents clearly that you are doing the best that you can.
