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.
Hi, I'm currently doing my exams in college. Their really important for me, plus i have coursework for other lessons 2. Now, this problem that I have is getting out of control. My dad has had terminal cancer 4 2 years now, n he's used to argueing for his case, because he's in a legal battle over something that happened to him when he was diagnosed. But I just can't take this anymore. He constantly blames me for everything that ceems to go wrong. He alwys brings up my past n like where Iv fucked up n made mistakes, and he never praises me for things that I do which r really good. I'm depressed all the time, because I have depression, and he never listens to me ever. He always compares me to my brother who ceems to be great and does everything right, and bascially I'm called a fuck up. I cry every night, plus i keep having pains everyday in my heart. I have all the stress of my carreer looming over me to, and I hate coming home 2 arguments cuz that's all their is. We used to be a family now I c them as my enemy's. I have a few good friends but most of them have stabbed me in the back n left me cuz i have depression. I seriously can't take this anymore. He doesn't even know me as well as u shud know ur one and only 17 year old daughter. Just over half the things that are important in my life, he doesn't know. I feel like i have no family, no hope, and I'm completly exhausted. He doesn't even let me go out much either, because he says oh I dont want you hanging round wit them drunk people up town. Now., that is my decision and I havnt been out 4 bout 4 months now like on the weekends, because I have been revising for exams, and I'm just so tired of it. I'm too tired now to stay up and do work when I get home everyday. It's just all 2 much. That is y when I'm 18 in 4 weeks I'm going out an staying out. I just don't know what to do. I feel like my world has just fallen apart and I'm trapped underneath all the rubble, and I'm dying. Sorry bout the length. Thnx for reading.x
I;m constantly getting compared to my older brother and sister. My father has called me a failure and deeply believes I will amount to nothing. I never was a part of the family so I dont know the pain of being seperated from them like you do but I know what its like to have them all look down on you. I have deep depression too and I will talk with you whenever you want.
trust me when ur done with these exams, u will feel WAY BETTER and u will not notice how ur dad treating u that much...i am not sayin that ur dad is doin nothin wrong...but when we are under stress we become more sensitive...so just get done with whatever then we can have one long chat about whatever u want...
make me proud hun, i am already proud :)
