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'm glad that you want to feel better. I don't blame you for trying cutting and drugs, even if those aren't the right answers. Sometimes people just feel like they have to do something, even if it isn't the best answer.
Feel free to write me if you just have nobody to talk to. I can't promise that I can help but I'll listen as best I can.
