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've been a people person my entire life. Sure, rarely, it is nice to have some alone time, but usually, I love being with people. I often feel extremely lonely as my sister has her boyfriend and I have nobody. I'm always a third wheel with my friends. Now, this isn't just about being single. My family, I feel, excludes me often naturally. It isn't them being mean, they just do it. I feel so alone and this makes me want to cut so bad. I want to mutilate my body. I want blood, but more than anything, I want to be my own friend. I understand my hypocrisy: if I'm my own friend, how can I be the enemy as well? How can I personify my depression, yet, stay friendly with the demon that stabs me? I don't want to go back to the hospital, and I'm trying to be a better person. But there's that line being self harm, and I'm about to cross it by impulse. I need someone to talk to...
third wheel in friendship? Sounds like my role. I have friends but I always confused when I need to ask someone to company me to go to malls, movies, etc. Because every of my friends has their own friends. So, i always feel lonely sometimes.
Maybe we can start talking and sharing our problems in order to get rid of your depression. One of my friends was so depressed and I support her so much, i was so worried because she said she wants to suicide. But after time goes by she gets happier, and in one time she just forget about me even blocked me.
So yeah :( I even sometimes feel betrayed by people whom i considered as "friend"
