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.

It's just been recently that a friend has pointed out the similarities I've had to the symptoms of depression. I've had anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and 2 bad break downs so far for it to become too much to leave alone any longer. The hardest part I've found is trying to make people understand. My friends could never read my mood swings or why some days would be good and others not at all. My parents didn't want to support what I had to say. My mom is getting better understanding. The worst part is that my dad is diagnosed with clinical depression and all he had to say was "Dont convince yourself you're anxious when you're not. Don't wish that upon yourself." It bothered me so much that someone who has/is experienced/ing depression could tell me to change the way I feel. It's not very easy or controllable is it? I've been to my doctor and so far all he's said is to give me natural things for moodiness or PMS. Somehow my doctor didn't even get it.

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...
