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.
Last night everything sort of decided to try and crush me. I felt what little control I had slipping and panicked. I broke a pencil sharpener and took the blade... I used it to cut the tops of my arms. They are shallow and small but cuts nonetheless.
Ally here. First off great name. Secondly, i think this is a big step in a wrong direction. Not big enough that you cant step back but concerning none the less. It might sound crazy but this is what i did to stop myself from cutting. I talk to myself and i imagine someone there with me ,listening to my problems. If its early enough i sing, cause its my hobby and it distracts me from my horrible thoughts or the best idea, i excercise that is a scientifically proven and tested trick to make you happy and clear your head. Also i tend to avoid sharp objects. Remember physical pain cant numb the pain for too long as the body quickly builds a tolerance towards it. Dont worry, if there are any nore such momment feel free to pm me and ill try my best
