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.
A while back someone told me that I needed to be my own hero. How can I do that if I don't know how to rescue myself. I'm falling again and I kept reaching out but every time I grabbed a hold of something I thought would help me out of this never ending hole, it broke thus letting me start falling deeper than before. I have always been self-conscious about my weight mixed with having very low self-esteem. Tuesday I got into a huge fight with my grandmother and she got at me by calling me a fat cow and telling me how pathetic it was that I'm 16 years old and over 300 pounds. She always uses this to wound me, she acts like I don't know that its pathetic and I'm just a fat loser. Hello I've known that my whole everyone knows that. This really hurt me and I didn't come out of my room for the rest of that day. The hole swallowed me up again. I wonder if there is ever an end to this deep dark hole or if it goes on forever. The darkness is overwhelming and I think I am going to deal with it for good. I think this is my final farewell goodbye everyone. Yall helped me as much as yall could.

I think he's right. You are definitely not alone. I think that one of my biggest problem is I'm alone, no one feels the same as I do. Also I felt gross I kept putting myself down. Ppl would say that you don't have to live by society's standards. "Thin" they say I'm beautiful if I was skinny or not. But it still sucked because it still bothered me cause that's what everyone else thinks. But then... I thought if i was dead it'd be better. But I found something. I looked in the mirror for literally 20 min strait. Picking out my flaws i then started picking out great things that I had. My eyes are close together. My lips are big. Lu kind of told myself that I love me. It's weird cause I started falling in love with myself. Loving every aspect of myself despite the fact that I'm 300 pounds. After I got sad again. I immediately became determined to lose some wait. And DAMN is it hard I gave up dieting like 20 times before I got committed and working out became easier for me after awhile. I showed some progress in two months. In all I'm saying fuck whatever other ppl think fall I love with yourself and if you don't like it still, change it. You a life to live full of great things and you must enjoy it someone out there loves you and cares hell idk you but sure as hell care cause guess what I've been there. And I think you can love yourself. If you're not a Christian try lol (; cause he gives me hope and love and honestly everyone needs that.

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...
