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 dont know what to do anymore. the only one i am able to talk to anymore is my best friend. i swear if she wasnt there for me i dont know what i would do. shes going through basically the same thing as me right now so its easy for me to talk to her, but im so scared im going to lose her. and my mom doesnt help any because.. well, i used to cut for a while and she made me get help, then i thought i was better, then a month later im not even close and so i cut again, only once, and she saw and got hugely pissed because she thought i was done with that mistake. sometimes i just want to crawl into a hole and die. but i just cant leave my best friend. i think shes the only one holding me back right now. im very glad though. the worst part though is when my mom tells me to explain whats wrong i cant! i dont know what to say. theres a million things going through my head and i still dont know how to get it into words..
please... help?

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. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
All this said, can you see the point Im making ? teens are growing up in a fast paced crazy world these days, the parents are working to feed the kids, the kids are suffering because the parents simply have no time for them.
Everybody is under immense pressure all the time.And we wonder why the depression??
Ive spoken with profesionals about cutting, and SI, but you know what it comes down to the same thing, cutting,depression,suicide etc..its all controlled by one simple organ isnt it ??
Thats right, its your brain.
The brain is as you know a very complex piece of machinary,it along with hormones control our every move.You can make yourself very sick if you concentrate on it enough, you can make your self extremely happy if you think good thoughts.
People die using the brain alone did you know that ?My grandmother died a few years ago, she and my grandfather were married for 40yrs.
Six months after she died, my Grandfather died too, he died of very simple complication, he died from a Mentally induced broken heart.The doctor said he had grieved so hard, and concentrated so fully on what her loss meant to him, that his heart just finally gave out.So you see, we are all in control of our own destinys hon, you can go to doctors, therapists,councilors, you can take drugs , but when all said and done,if you're not going to tune that brain in and give your body hope, then Im afraid your wasting your time, the strengh to not abuse yourself, and to be happy has to come from within hon.People are here to help make that happen, dont cut hon, dont punish and make scars on that body, find someone to talk to hear, Im always available at different times throughout the day, just leave me a message. Your not alone here okies "wink" )))))))))))) x
I'm not exactly sure on what it is you're going through. But I do know that there is much more to do than cutting yourself. That's silly. Cassie, I don't know you but, I do know that I'm almost 100% positive that you're a lot smarter than that! If you ever need to talk, I'm here.
