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.

How to handle guilt & small voice in your head

If I accidentally make a mistake or get scolded it affects me more than the average person. It replays in my head like an instant replay over and over, and can't focus on anything else...this can last for days and even years.

If you don't know what I'm talking about it's like having that annoying friend who won't shut up and makes a big deal out of nothing

The guilt I can kinda handle, but that VOICE is still there.Can any of you relate to this or am I crazy?

While I can't relate entirely, I know you are not crazy. I can sort of relate because there are mistakes I've done that have really affected me and it's hard to move on. My advice is if you make a mistake, especially if it was just accidental, forgive yourself. We all make mistakes as this is something that makes us human. Put some duck tape on that annoying friend :) I know you can, I'm here if you ever need me. Stay strong :)

your not crazy and I can relate, unless I'm crazy to?
I think it comes from, in my case, from parents who expect perfection at all times no matter what and nothing else is ever ok and if there is a lapse in perfection hell is to be paid, so its made me hypervigilant to everything I say and do and if I make a mistake it constantly replays and it gets annoying but I keep telling myself everythings ok and maybe someday it'll be true
