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 admire your faith. And you are not alone. Many others are searching, and finding! (a safe place for spiritual reasons).
Perhaps settling into relationships with people with the same good ideas you have will help you get through the times of loneliness, Brittany. I spend my time doing things that keep me calm. It's so easy to become restless without any plans to stay busy too.
I hope that best for you as you "walk-down" the depression from missing your mother. She still sees you, loves you, and she is very interested in how you keep yourself so well these days. I picture her in heaven standing proudly in the presence of other angels cheering for you. Just as I do.
