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.

Done

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..

You shouldnt give up. No matter how bad things seem they will always get better. I know it is hard sometimes. That feeling of hopeless takes its toll, but there is another way out. other than giving up. Keep trying because once you find that happyness and keep it, it is all worth it =]]]

dont give up, find your light at the end of the road, no matter what it may be it will get you throught the toughest times. Someone loves you and needs you to be there to get through the day, they may not show it but they do. mabe even someone from something as small as this site would cry if you were gone, dont give up, i know it might not look like it but things WILL get better. :)

but still, dont give up. If you give up now think of all that you will miss, things might be bad now but they WILL get better, you have your whole life ahead of you and you don't want to give this up. Living is a privlidge and God chose YOU to become the most intelligent and evelutionized civilization that there is, YOU were chosen to be apart of this world, God saw something in you and its still there, don't give up. Please don't.

For years now it feels as if ever since I've gotten a taste of depression I couldn't shake it. I thought the same thing, that happiness would only come to me in short bursts between long periods of sadness. I've realized that this is because it is so easy to be angry or sad. Depression is a sort of giving in, with suicide being the ultimate resignation.

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.

Take it from someone who gave up before, things actually can get better. I spent the last 2 years of my life giving up, and I still have trouble with life. But that doesn't mean you should just quit. You said that its not worth it, when really you might just need to take a different approach on life.
