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.
As for cutting, how deep? I personally believe its ok to cut so long as you're paying attention and don't cut too deep or something.
As for overeating and then starving urself, do you know why u do that? I prefer that you just overeat a little than overeat and starve urself :\ overeating might make u chubby, but at least you'll still be healthy ^_^ as long as u dont go overboard heh.
Before I keep going, let me warn u, i am known to write forever and ever, so this "advice" thing may never stop :]
Ok, anyway heh. I really dunno what to tell u bout wantin someone to care about you. I'll care about you ^_^ but I know that's just not the same as havin someone actually be there. Another thing I've noticed is that so many people DON'T care, that it's hard to just notice the few who do :\ And also, a lotta people care, they're just ... well... really really stupid. lol. they don't know what to do to help so they end up either doing nothing or completely ignoring it.
anyway, feel free to talk to me ^_^ if you have aim, im ardntquintesence (long huh? XD)
