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 for a long time now I've been defeating depression and looking at all the postive stuff in life. But here recently I dunno. I haven't been feeling like myself. I don't like it at all.
Usually if things start running through my mind, I just think about how I'm an indivual in this world and I have a long life ahead of me & that I'm healthy and shouldn't worry about anything.
I think I just need to get away for a while, meet new people, discover new things and develope new hobbies. I guess sometimes I just need someone to talk to, and have someone tell me everything's going to be alright and just make me feel like I'm worth something.

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...
