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.
so my uncle died in 2011 at the age of 29 in a motorcycle crash. i was very close to him but i didnt get to see him much. after his death i was in a deep depression, i would shut ppl out, my grades started to drop really bad and i started acting out. im still not completely out of this depression but my grades have started to get better. there are days where he is all i can think about and days i find myself randomly crying and blocking the world out and blasting music. i know this isnt something that goes away over night but its been almost 3 years now and i just wanna know...what are somethings i can do to help me accept his death and get over this depression?
Maybe visit his grave, Put some flowers by it? I know one thing that helped me, it may not help you, because I just did this as a little girl. But, buy some balloons, write him a letter on a balloon, and let it go outside. It made me think that he got the letter in heaven. I dont know, It gave me a lot of closure.
Message me if you need someone to talk to, hun.
