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 always get tons of friend requests on here. I appreciate them but I once had 100 friends, I love reading all my friends journals everyday and that is just not possible with over 26 friends. So I stopped accepting friend requests because no one really cares if I accept or deny it. Well every time I deny one I feel like a bitch lol. I've been on ds for 3 years now. My ds friends are like my family. What do you guys do about the whole friends on ds thing?

Thanks. See I get email notifications when you write because if I don't It's hard to find it. If I have 60 emails in 20 minutes it's not fun lol.

I accept almost everyone unless I feel there's a reason why I shouldn't, but that rarely happens. Thankfully nobody writes a journal every hour at the same time or something like that. It'd be impossible to catch up. XD But if something like that does happen, it's sometimes best to let them message you and have them tell you what's going on directly, instead of just waiting to read their journal.

Hey! I used to be the same and have almost 100 friends that I could not keep up with, but I noticed many of my DS friends have left or they haven't used dailystrength for a month. In that case, I remove them as friends, and then resend a friend request to them saying, "when you come back, friend me, so I know you're back! =)" or something along the lines of that. Its helpful since the people on my list of friends are people that are still pretty active on DS. :) Hope this was helpful. But yea, don't just reject any friend requests unless they look like spammers or trolls.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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...
