Family is family, you are miserable because of your predicament but it's not anyones fault but your own. Stop acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get their way and appreciate your family.
Andrea's comments are on point.

Apologize to your family and try to manage your emotions more carefully. Make an all out effort to be nicer and let them know how much you appreciate them. They should come around eventually.

Even if you can't drive, try to get out for walks so you can burn some pent up energy.

If talking to them didn't get you anywhere, you might want to write them a letter outlining what you've done and take responsibility for. Specific episodes or action you are sorry you did or said. This may seem like a weird idea at first because you live with them - but you need to find someway to communicate probably other than verbally.

I did this for my Nephew. My brother had a lot of problem with him during a certain period of time and I made my nephew a 'stationary packet.' I gave him his own logo and everything. He received regular stationary paper and some note card with a dog trotting across it saying "I have something I want to run past you." And other things. He used it too and it greatly improved their communication and relationship.

It keeps a conversation from escalating into a screaming match and a door being slammed somewhere. You can also get out how you feel without being interrupted.
