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 suppose I should be sleeping, but like before, I just can't shut down my mind. I can't stop the chorus of voices in my head, and I can't fight the words flowing down through my hands onto paper scratching out poems and lyrics the world will never know. So tonight I get to exist with my sadness in this tragedy we call life, where Shakespeare can't predict the ending of our final acts, and we get no sililoquy to say goodbye to the world. And while I sit here alone, I can relfect on the things that have made me who I am and realize that I was never meant to be. I can play the part of the broken hearted and lonely and despaired, and when the curtain falls, I can take off this mask and realize I was never acting to begin with.

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...
Anywho...it's another night without sleep again...yippee skippee.
