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.
For the past few months i feel like iv been lieing to myself. I feel this way because evertime an outside person looks in and asks how im doing, rather its a good day or not i start to cry and i have no reason to.
The last few mornings iv woken up happy, 5 min later im crying in my car on the way to school.. No reason.
Idk, maybe there is a reason but im hidding it from myself, if so how do i find it and figure out how to work it out.
i dont like crying for no reason it makes me cry harder cause inside i feel like im weak, and iv let myself down, like iv given in.
idk if anyone else gets this or not, but if so how do you handel it?
and what can i do to make myself not so emotional everytime someone wants to know how im truely doing? When will i bed able to say, Im happy. and mean it?
iv put on a "public" happy face for so long it almost like being 2 different people now. I suspect that if i dont do something soon, it might become this way. I really need to find someway to my repressed thoughts and figure out why im not happy inside. but i dont know how?

There are many times when I'm completely sad and get crying/anger spells for no reason at all, without consciously thinking about anything negative about myself or my life. Originally I didn't know why I felt so bad all the time, but I really had to think hard on past events on my life that has led up to this point. Sorry, but I can't help you with getting emotional when someone asks you how you are doing. The few times that anyone has asked me I lie, I want to let it all out, but the truth is most people wouldn't know how to react if you did and most people tend to lie. How often have you seriously heard a person say I'm doing terrible as an answer? Just try to do things that make you happy to bring your mood up, that'll make it less likely that you'll have any emotional breakdowns.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
