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 you ever wished with all of your heart that you could be someone else? Lately I have been so depressed and felt so alone that I find myself wishing I were just someone else altogether. I have so much going for me and I realize that, but I do not understand why I am this depressed. What do I do? Who do I turn to? I feel so helpless.

I've wished for the longest time that I was someone else, still do sometimes. Friends and family can help. Personally my faith in God helped me most. I've depended on myself too. That actually made me like who I am more. It takes time, but if you focus on all the things that you have going for you, then eventually your problems won't seem to overtake your life.

You know, it seems like a good idea to be someone else, but if you really study people, were all alone and screwed up in some way. I just want to fix myself, I wouldn't want to take on someone else problems, because it wouldn't be fixing anything, just creating something new to deal with. I used to think I wanted to be like other people though.

it doesnt matter how much you have going for you. celebrities could have everything and they still commit suicide. it has nothing to do with what you have. its about how you feel. and it sucks because not a lot of people in the world are caring enough to sense us not feeling okay

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...
