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.

since the begining of my junior year i have been unhappy and the past 4 months it is becoming completly overwhelming...im over emotional and everyone around me is aggrivating me.my "friends" are not friends and im having an extremly hard time i just always always feel alone. i know that if i wasn't so scared and if i wasn't worried about what people would think that i would be dead. what bothers me the most is that the most amazing person in my life is dead and she had so much more to offer the world and i am here taking up space offering nothing.i don't know quite what to do...

dont be so hard on yourself... things happen. Regardless of what you think you may "have to offer" more than likely you have more to offer than you know of. and youre not takin up space either. Its what this is here for. im here if you wanna talk. *hugs*

wow i feel the same way. I totally understand what you mean. I've finally convinced myself to talk to my counsoler. She's amazing and has helped a lot. I still feel like you but i'm slowly getting it together. really really really slow and sometimes i'm going backwards but you just have to take one day at a time and try and be possitive. Good luck! always here if you want to talk. *Hugs*

Of course your taking up space hon ! we all are on this planet, how can we exist without taking up space? we all belong here,we all have that right including you. Now what you make of that right to be here is up to you, you can make it bright and cheery, a promised future OR you can make it dreary, depressing, and a waste of time.We are advocates for our own future hon, what we make of this life is up to us, and can only be controlled by us.
In your teen years you have the power to change and plan your future,some steps in our lives are hard, I remember the teen years as being really hard, and school these days is very hard, the teachers get the pressure to finish their allocated work, they in turn push the pupils to finish it in the allocated time, this results in pressure for all concerned Im afraid. My son is in freshman year at high school, so I know the problems first hand.
The only thing I can promise you moel is that this wont last, it doesnt seem like that how I know, but these years wont last, soon youll be adult, and the tools to cope with these problems will come with your maturing to adult status.Be patient and try to enjoy these years.)))))))))))x

    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. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. 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...
