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.
Hi, I'm currently 15, I was sexually assaulted when I was 12 which then led to my dad leaving us and a series of bullying in school. I feel so empty all the time, my mum is saying she doesn't want me to live with her anymore, that I'm too much stress and that what happened to me was partly my fault. I have had help before but none of it seems to work, we're going down that path again, I just don't know what to do and I feel really alone.
I certainly understand that there's trouble at home for you. And I want to offer useful suggestions. It is important that you understand a healthy & emotionally safe approach for use to overcome your family struggles too.
And I do notice your friend's request within my profile notification's box.
Yet I should inform you that I'm not a teen myself (adult) and I only posted in the teens' group for the sake of encouraging other teens to help support each other, because the teen support groups are often silent and very inactive. I feel for you guys!
However, if I accept you as a friend, I will only communicate with teen friends through support by your community threads or in on-site written journals. So, if you decide to keep an open journal while visiting this support site, and your parents are aware that you are within a support community, then I will accept you as a friend. I take your word as agreement that you will honestly follow my recommendations too.
Also, I will not do private messages with those under the age of 18. This idea is for your own safety as well as my own welfare. And personally I would not want to suggest or encourage you to friend with adults unless you understand that these people behave as morally fit, trustworthy, express decent verbal content within posts and threads and obey the rules posted by the administrators of DS community support groups. Though always seek for your friends wisely.
And you may send me a hug message if you agree to my terms of support. I do care that you have loyal and safe support while visiting this DS support site. ツ
