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.
Hey guys. My name is Tris, I'm 17 and still attending high school. I used to have wicked depression, with numerous suicide attempts that landed me in the hospital. I'm less that proud of this - I'm a walking reminder, my arms and legs manically scarred. After a while, tweaking medications finally hit the spot, and I felt magically cured. I've recently realized over the past two months that nothing lasts forever.
Lately, I have been suffering from the same depression that once plagued me. I wish anti-depressants were like vaccines, and that the depression would not appear again. Unfortunately, I've been spiraling downhill, having been abandoned by literally ALL of my friends - and yes, I mean all - with my twin sister neglecting me for her boyfriend too. My birthday is coming up on the 29th, and I'm going to be completely alone as I have no friends, and my sister is leaving with her boyfriend. I guess I will have my mom, and I can't complain for that, right? But I am just so fucking lonely. "Lonely" is such an overused term. I'm so much more than lonely. I have begun cutting again, too. I have mixed feelings about it, but I can't deny the urge to do it again. I hate this downhill roller coaster I have boarded, and I don't know how to get off. I'm not considering jumping - I know better for myself. But I know that this process is going to suck, and I'm going to get harmed yet again during it. Any advice?

I wish we could post pictures in the comments field because I have a few cool birthday ones. But anyways. There's no possible way for me, I'd anyone, can know exactly how you feel. But I knew a few people who suffer with depression and one of which used to cut herself. I know what its like to not have anyone there for your birthday too. This year all but 2 people(1 was the friend who used to cut, we don't talk anymore as of recently but that's a long story). But I'll come back and post here for it so make sure you log back in on your birthday. Maybe we could all play Words with Friends or Chess with Friends. Good luck. And stay strong for everyone on this dead board.

Ive sorta also been left alone from friends, kinda just lingering by reading stuff on wattpad at high school. i feel lonely too, it just hurts in a way i cant deal with. I always go from a high up and crash down, but the thing that helps me is just knowing that something is stable. Like thinking that whatever happens with me doesn't affect the world, doesn't change what will happen tomorrow or anything. It feels liberating to think like this, so free. hopefully you find something that gives you a moments peace like i have. If not we can just rant to each other ... :P

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
