Grab-bag of issues, help with managing stress?

Hey everyone–
I’m holding it together pretty well, but I want Yahoo’s crowd to give me some stress-relief tips—I could use them!

My 12 year old sister has been diagnosed with full-blown anorexia, she looks like a concentration camp victim, and we’re probably going to have to inpatient her. My Mom has been dealing with my sister’s issues for years (Dad’s been dead for two years), and has been at the end of her strength for a while—she just seems exhausted all the time. We don’t have any family close to help her.
I’ve recently been diagnosed with PCOS, a totally manageable, but massively life-changing hormone/endocrine syndrome.
I’m currently on ******* watch for two close friends, one of whom may be also in federal prison soon for something that happened due to his mental illness.
My aunt just recovered from ovarian cancer, but got sick again (unknown cause so far). My uncle is on disability due to his Parkinson’s-like illness.
The list goes on, but that’s the main stuff. Help!
