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 thought things were getting better, but I guess not. I just want to die and don't want to go on living anymore. I just want to cut and do nothing and feel like there's no reason to live anymore.
I'm debating whether or not I should call my therapist or not because my mom is complaining about the money we're spending on my appointments...I don't know what to do!! Please HELP!

I am sorry you have to face this.If therapist is not affordable you can call help lines where there are availiable experts to talk about your problems, It is really helpful ( i have once tried it ). Moreover you could talk to someone that you trust and ask for support. Wantig to harm yourself is not the solution to your problems. Everytime you feel the need to cut yourself or make something bad try to do something that will distract your attention. Does your mother is aware of the fact that you want to injure yourself? if not let her know,count on her and make her clear that therapist is vital. In any case you should to talk to someone soon about your feelings and thoughts.

I don't wanna tell my mom because she'll get really emotional and I don't feel comfortable letting her know either. To tell you the truth I feel like I can trust my therapist more than my parents for some reason. I appreciate your concern and your care for me. It really means a lot.

Here we are to lend an ear to everyone in need. I am in a bad situation too and I know how helpful is knowing that there are people who feel the same way you feel, people that you can express your problems and ask for support.So whenever you feel the need to share your thoughts, dont'be afraid of writing here. It is true that it is easier to talk to a stranger than to family.It also happens to me. Although I have trust my mother a problem, I can't talk to her about everything, I prefer the therapist too. But make her clear that an appointment with your therapist is not a waste of money.When we feel that we cannot deal with our problems on our own the only way is to addres to someone expert . When we are ill or have some health problems we go to the doctor. In this way when we are confronted with mental problems we have to go to a psychology/therapist. Sharing your thoughts with other people and asking for help online is of course a relief but not a way to solve your problems for good. I f you are willilng and determined to hepl yourself and try to do what your therapist tells you, you don't have to make lots of appointments(and so not to spend much money). You can also look for help centers/public hospitals that offer their duties at a very low cost. Moreover,as I mentioned to my previous message there are some national and international free help lines. You have written that you WANT to cut , have you ever cut yourself?

WOW!! Your words are life saving and I love it. My friends made a good point when I told her my mom wanted to cut down on appointments by saying look what happened to Robin Williams. I honestly think I'm bipolar because my mood can switch from really HIGH to really LOW with in minutes and I thinks thats why my mom thinks I don't need to see a therapist as often cuz she always sees me when im feeling ok and never the lows

Thank you very much for your nice words. It's very kind of you. It often happens that people are aware of our good moments. We don't let them see our lows. That's why your mother thinks that you don't have to visit a therapist. Robin Williams is an other occasion. Don't compare yourself with him. You are a young person. Life is in front of you. I firmly believe that people who suffer from mental disorders for example depression, bipolar disorder etc are sensitive, different(that's good for me) and very strong too.But they miss hope. If there's a will they can do everything. The matter is to realize their treasure. BE A FIGHTER AND NEVER STOP TRYING. Life is difficult but difficulties define who we are. I am sure that one day life will get better. Don't lose your hope.

Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
