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 tired.

I'm stressed out with myself. Having to force a fake smile on my face around others when all I really want to do go somewhere alone and cry. Maybe thats why I'm not feeling well. I'm in a really tight spot. I'm around all the others so I have to smile, even if they know or feel that there is something wrong, I can't tell them beleive it. I have to keep smiling cause if I don't, they'll see me cry and I don't want them to see me cry. Someone could yell at me about something and I still have to keep that smile up as if nothing is happening. I'm getting sicker on the inside, my throught hurts and so does my body, but I don't have a fever nor am I showing my pains to others. I'm so tired. Oh well. It's just another one of my punishments.

You're making yourself sicker.
I used to be the same way, and somewhere along the line I just broke. Trust me, almost no one expects you to be happy all the time, even if you think they do. And if they really do, they're stupid. NO ONE is happy all the time, even if they don't admit it to themselves.

But why do you say it's just another one of your punishments? do you think you deserve this sadness?

no one expects you to be a super hero. though you may have made this mould for yourself and set these expectations, you're allowed to break down and go crazy and scream and let other people care for you. It took me so long to figure that out....this website it amazing for helping but you need to let things out...you don't have to smile all the time.....it makes your face ache after a while.

    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...
