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.
Well I just don't know what to do anymore Im depressed because of my eye well I was hit in the eye with a golfball 6 years ago and had to have 5 surgeries and now Im going to probably have a prosthetic put in Im going in the 26th of this month to see when we can. I just have a hard time with the pain and stuff anymore and its only getting worse...I get so depressed over this because I just wish I could havd 2 eyes to look out of. I know other people can do it so why cant I? Why do I have to be so stubborn? I feel alot of the time that people are staring at my eye and not me because yes it does look different from my other one but I dont know its not like gross even though sometimes I think so but other people disagree with me. My parents are getting a divorce thats the short story and Im having a hard time with that and I just feel like Im never going to find someone thats going to love me...for me. I feel like Im never good enough for anyone because whatever I do just...ugh I dont know. Sorry if Im all selfish because Im not. I always put other peoples problems before mine. Anyways I better go talk to you all later!
When I look at a person with an eye difference, I do not think negatively about it. Idiotic people might have a negative thought, but there a a lot of idiotic people in the world.
a struggle like you have can give you the energy to work harder in all you do, and that is going to make you a stronger and better person. Many successful people in the world have gotten there, from the difficulties that they had to deal with in there life.
Many people have things about themselves that they don't like, but they are not visible like your eye.
And I am sure your eye does not appear as bad as you see it. You have the unpleasnat feelings about it, so it is going to be a bigger unpleasantness in your mind, than others on the outside.
Only the better women will love you for you, and not your eyes. They will love you as they see what you are like in your feelings, thoughts, and beliefs.
I'm sorry to hear about the surgeries. I've only ever had one surgery but it was on my knee.
I hope things get better. And if you need someone to talk to just message me.
As for the eye, don't worry!! I have a family member who has had eye issues for many years. I can't remember if his is just unusable [it looks gray], or if he has a lazy eye, but either way he has a loving wife and 3 kids!! You will find someone that loves you for you and you will have friends that don't care how you look. Plus, if you run into someone that DOES care, then they are selfish and not worth your precious time. You sound like a nice person and don't have to deal with what meaningless people think of you. Those people don't matter!
I am, again, sorry for the divorce and know that your situation is either just as bad or worse than mine and I have great sympathy for you. I hope my information on the eye thing helped you though!
However, I am getting through it and calling him as much as I can. The feeling of knowing someone without having known them is so overwhelming, and leaving it is so hard to do.
I am glad I helped! I actually just met that family member in March, but he does have a wife and 3 kids and is very happy. I have also delt with jerks who judge you by looks or are disgusted by something you have no control over. I just told myself that they don't matter, and now I never have to see them again [I graduated]. You WILL run into people that find it disgusting, but I can garuntee that you will run into even more people who could care less either way! I am sure it won't be as bad as you think once you are used to it! I always overreact thinking something will be HORRIBLE, and it never is.
As for your parents, I am sure you will get through that too. You will still have them as parents and it will be easier on you at the age you are at. Can you imagine being like 5 and having that happen?! I am sure I would blame myself and try to run away! I know you will do fine and I think once it is finalized and you get into the swing of certain days with certain parents, you will be ok.
Good luck!
