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.
ever since i told best friend (i consider him just a friend now) well ever since i told him about my SI when were in high scholl (i graduated but he's still in school) i felt great about it. i felt like a lot of weight was lifted off my sholders.. well heres the bad part. all he says is "call me if you ever feel like cutting." thats all he says. he never asks if i'm doing ok, why i started, or why i'm doing it.
and when i had my relapse he sanped at me saying "why didn't you call me?" he asked to see the scars so i showed him and he told me to give him the rubber band and i said no because it helps me out. he asked how does it. and i told him it just does.
but i still consider him a friend (i don't know why i do) there sometimes i just wish he would understand what i'm going through and just saying "call me if you ever feel like cutting" won't help when i have thoughts of cutting.
i've been thinking about sending him some facts about cutting but i'm not sure of how he would react to it

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...
we became good friends and i finally decide to tell her what i was going through and she was a little stund but she old me that she went through the same thing. when ever i had a relapse in high school she would ask me if i'm ok, do i want to talk about what happened.
i miss her so much.. she moved out of state.. but we still chat through myspace
Now, you CAN send him some facts about cutting, but I think if you're really just wanting to get your relationship to be better, tell him how YOU feel about cutting and why you do it. The facts are just general, and they give so many reasons for why we do the things we do, which can def be overwhelming and confusing.
So, my suggestion is to write him a letter about why you do it. Or talk to him, whatever you're more comfortable with.
Don't wait for him to ask, because he might be uncomfortable and unsure as to if you wanna talk about it or not.
I would also confront him. By telling him I need to talk about it. Tell him why and that sometimes you feel hurt that is what he says a lot.
I know you can overcome this. Please keep me updated!
And please dont cut yourself =[
