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.
Have any of you had problems where depression has or has almost ruined your relationships? I don't know if I've gone to the point of no return now in mine.... I've told him that I don't want to a relationship, that I don't to be friends and that I don't ever want to talk to him ever again. I've told him some of this stuff before over and over again and then went back on my word, but when I told him that I never wanted to talk to him ever again, there was such a long pause and the only thing he said was "okay" then hung up immediately... I regret it.... I should have called him back right after that... I don't know what to do... I should never of said it.... I'm so ignorant of my own feelings... I'm just trying to fix myself, but I don't know how and I'm only getting worse... and I need him there, but he was also the source of my pain. It's so hard. I don't konw how to step away from any of this. I don't know where to go. I'm so stuck in limbo. I don't know where I SHOULD let him go so I can heal or if I need him by my side for the healing process.... Please.. I need guidance...
First, you need to find yourself. Realize who you are as a person. You are a strong soul, and you can reach many heights. Don't let depression define you. You are your own definition. Find the good in yourself and accept yourself; with or without depression.
Next, tell him how you feel. If he's really your "friend", he'll at least TRY to understand. Write him a letter, call him. Tell him that you didn't mean any of it and that you have strengthened yourself. You're ready to start talking again.
That's if you WANT to talk to him again. If you feel he'd be more pain than happiness, don't. Let yourself heal without him. You need to do what's best for YOU.
But remember, no person is perfect, and if he is trying to work on being better and not hurting you, maybe you should talk to him again and get him back in your life! :)
If you need to talk more, message me. I'll be glad to. Hope this helped!
STAY STRONG.
