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 don't take anti-depressants. But I know how it feel to bring your friends down. I catch myself doing it all of the time. That's why I push them away-I don't advise you to do that.
But I also know how it feels like to not belong anywhere. I get like that everyday I see other people.
But you belong here. I feel most like myself when I'm here, and people here have excepted me as myself.
So you're not alone. If ya wanna talk, just send me a message.

i used to take anti-depressants and i do know what you mean. its good that your telling someone instead of keeping it all inside. your friends just feel down, not because of your stories, but because they probably want to help you, but just dont know how. just to let you know, if you want a friend who can help without feeling sad, im always here to talk and listen. after all, like my catch phrase says..............................
I AM JUSTICE!!!
