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.
Ok so heres my problem
I live in the middle of a town....I have no friends and my parents think I'm faking my depression (as if I would choose to live this way)Somedays I am so depressed that it takes me forever just to get out of bed. I refuse to take medication because I have an incredibly addictive personality, and therapists have given me up as a lost cause. Or labelled me as an attention seeker, who acts like this to get off going to school.
I don't really know anyone else with severe clinical depression and I feel like I'm the only one that struggles to wake up in the morning.
I know i'm not but that's how I feel

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...
Last year I got told that i had that. i dont think i ever really did then but there is a chance I have it now. i dont really beleive in labels. i think sometimes my self that I do it for attention. people who dont have anything else in there lives so they make things up. I dont see my family much and I dont really have any friends so sometimes I feel like it is all fake and I am only doing it so people will notice. I hope that find your way through it all. If you ever need to talk to someone I am around.
