Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

I'm think I am done. I don't want to do this anymore. I am tired. I forgot how to be happy. I forgot what makes me happy. I forgot how it feels to be happy, how it tastes, how it looks, how it sounds. I'm just tired. I hate it. Life, people, emotions, everything. I think there really is no cure for depression. That happiness is an ongoing battle. And I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. Its not worth it. I hate trying and caring. I'm giving up. I'm done. Sorry..

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Ask yourself, is it easier for you to sit alone or be with others? Do you find it easier to smile or frown? Happiness is a battle, yes, especially for those who have suffered.
With that attitude, you may have to fight for a while. You have to believe in it, that there is more to everything than despair. Trust the possibility to be happy. Try to do even the littlest things to smile. Have faith in yourself and the rest of the world. Optimism goes a long way.
Happiness may be hard now, but you know it does exist. Strive for it.
