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 have been staying really depressed... Try to stop cutting. Been doing good.. But now I have the urge to start again.. Worse than normal.. And cutting isn't even enough anymore.. Been considering other forms of self harm, such as burning... Which really worries me... What if I can't stop myself? ) : What's next? Already have suicidal thoughts... What if I can't stop myself from doing something really bad??

I know you've probably heard this many times, but you need to talk to someone who can actually help you. Not just a friend, but maybe a parent or therapist, if you haven't already. School counselor, maybe? If you're going so far as to harm your own body, which you should consider precious, you really need to speak to someone.
Please do not burn yourself. You need to find a hobby that will take your mind off of the urges. Don't focus on it to much, and stay strong. I'm definitely here if you need to talk.

You definetly need to talk to a therapist. You may need medication to stop these thoughts before you hurt yourself worst then you planned to. Depression is a hard thing to deal with, espically alone. Friends may listen and that is important but they can't offer the help that is needed. You also need someone professional who can help you deal with this. There is help but you have to open up to others and let them know everything - your thoughts, cutting, thinking of harming yourself . I care. Realize you are worth it.

I understand how you feel ... I have been feeling worthless, not able to talk to people and WANTING to cut myself ... though I didnt really do it.
