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.
Does anyone find that one Season will set off your depression?
I generally happier during Autumn and Winter...
But it's the middle of spring now and I'm feeling depressed again!!
I guess the main reason for being depressed is my mother made me feel worthless... And all those comments were always said in summer so i guess its tainted now.
She never really said anything negative towards me, besides calling me stupid or saying i was too full of myself (not true by the way), but its the way she speaks about my sister and then doesn't say the same for me...
She says I'm "Entertaining" in this humorous voice, where as my sister gets to be fucking "Beautiful".
These superficial comments from my mother led me to partake in dangerous dieting in the past 4 months and now I'm struggling between starving myself and binging.
... Wow, i got sidetracked, sorry this is so long.
It was only meant to be short.
I have too many words and emotions pent up inside me, now its like they're seeping out slowly like a gaping wound...
Sorry for the gory image.
So, does anyone else find the seasons/weather trigger their depression?
... Or is it just me?

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...
i have SAD
and i'll be pretty much fine all year
except this time of year
