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.

it does help...but the first step you have to take...is just to prepare yourself emotionally to be able to tell someone you don't know or trust all of your problems...it's really difficult to do...but what i found helped me...is in the back of my mind i thought " i have to do this if i want this to end" ...so just keep telling yourself it's something you have to do....and in some ways it's better having someone that doesn't personally know you to talk to...cause they can't really judge you....the psych is there to help you...not hurt you...and they've dealt with many people just like you

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'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.
