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'm starting to feel very depressed. Through my years of middle school and mostly through high school I was always picked on and avoided and because of that, I don't have many friends. I managed to have a few relationships through these times, but all of them have ended badly and have only hurt me more. Grade 12, I really started to relax some and I made some new friends and I thought that I was over this. But now my friends have all gone off to college and now I have noone to hang out with. My brothers don't want to have people over because I take over and I want to hang. I don't have a decent job because I'm so depressed and I don't want to get out there. All of the girls I know only see me as a friend and nothing more. I don't want to get out there and try to find someone only to have it not work out. I really don't know what to do. I'm worried I'm going to start contemplating suicide but I don't know how to avoid it. My life just sucks. What should I do??
1. Your past. look whats gone is gone, the past is dead now, and burying the dead is the only way to honor him/her! so bury it and let go.
2. Your old memories at year 12. You like them, so now you know what makes you feel good. Just work on getting new friends, a positive atmosphere.
3. Your relationships. I believe that there is a soul mate for everyone, that will appear in the right place in the right time. so just wait for it, and dont chase it! I am sure you r going to find your perfect match though!
4. Your job. just get a one, a simple one, as a start its gonna help you to get rid of the depression by taking your mind off the things that bother you. spending alot of free time is really not good to feel better or to leave the status of depression.
After working on that you will stop thinking of suicide, i can guarentee that!
if you need support to do that, i am gonna be here!
