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.
The sky grew dark,
clouds choked out the sun-
trapped in a prison,
nowhere to hide or to run.
Your heart feels heavy,
heavy with sorrow and pain-
how did you come to be here,
how do you again and again?
How the world crushes down,
and hope seems smashed to dust,
all you can manage is a frown,
but go on, since you must.
Death rises from the depths,
an option that promises release,
some take it without second thought
they buy a fate that can not be un-bought.
Finally, a lull in the storm
all those freezing now bask and are warm
Some did not make it all through the night,
some felt they could not make it
that they would not survive to see the light.
They thought sadness would kill them,
but it was by their own hands they perished,
loved ones loved by many,
loved ones that we cherished.

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...
