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.
So...I was hoping that today would be a good day, but I wasn't really prepared for what we had to watch for psych. We had to watch intervention about this girl named Alison who is addicted to huffing and cuts too.
I thought I was strong enough to get through it, but I had enough and couldn't take it anymore. Does this ever happen to any of you? If so what do you do to help? I'm tired of feeling like this because people REALLY don't understand how I feel at school!

Strength isn't always a good measure of how people cope. Strength implies standing up to an oncoming force. And eventually everything put in front of an oncoming force breaks.
Think of it as learning to let life's pressures go past you without pushing against you at all.
When you feel stressed, what's your first way you try to cope, what's the go-to way to cope? And have you tried OTHER things, to make sure what you're doing works best?
