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.
Apparently there was some rumors going on about me at the Y where I work at. One was that I was a lesbian and the other that there was something going on. Both were true, but I feel embarrassed because I don't want to be known as "that girl".
I had an appointment with my therapist and I froze...I just couldn't get the words out that I wanted to say. It's easier for me to post something on here than talking to somebody. I'm slowly learning that I might have social anxiety because I feel so uncomfortable around most people and it's hard to express my emotions.
Long story short...Can you give me any tips to help me talk to my therapist without being scared?

I am talking to my therapist on a weekly bases and it does help.
You should just keep finding one that you feel comfortable to talk with.
And she also tends to get off topic at times which is ok because it takes my mind off of the bad things
