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.
I really need to talk, tell someone about the pain, the voices, the shadows, the temptations, the needs, I have to tell someone about the sadness. But it seems I can't open my mouth. The 2 friends who know and really care want to help but I can't open my mouth. They think I'm just refusing but I'm not. I really want to answer them and tell them whats going on, how I'm feeling and not dealing.
Why can't I open my mouth? Why can I only answer them in my head? Why do I yell at myself for not talking, regret not talking. Then do the same thing the next time they ask me to tell them what's going on. Even when I need to tell them I can't. Why? How do I change this?
Venting really.... mad at myself.... >=/

Have you considered writing it first? Maybe you just need to ease yourself into actually speaking out loud about it. Write it for them.
