Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hey all, I'm Megan and I was just wondering if anybody is or was extremely depressed during their high school years? I hate not being part of the coolest cliques, and even though I'm not unpopular, I still always feel like I want to be the best. It also makes me incredibly depressed to not be in a relationship. I always seem to be listening to some love song and moping over the fact that I'm single and have yet to be in a serious relationship. Argghh. Can anybody here relate, even if you're no longer in high school?
I hated high school..i was not popular & had maybe 3 friends? kind of a loner/geek..played ALOT of hookie, i ended up quiting at 16 & leaving home.
I remember telling my dr i was depressed & he gave me some anti-depresants...cant remember if they helped?
there was alot of presure getting a BF..so i got one (just to fit in) & i didnt really like him..he was from another city..pretty stupid huh?
Beleive me the "coolest" cliques are not perfect..they are usually stuck up bit$%'s..your not missing anything.
PS...
whoever said..Your teenage yrs are the best yrs of your life"...was either a cheerleader or a jock b/c for me it was HELL~~
Hang in there..you will be fine
I am well-known, and when im around people, i feel like im liked, but then come to weekends, pshh you think i get invited out to do things? Ya right. I'm ALWAYS by myself! its so incredibly frustrating! I always ask myself, "What is SO wrong with me that i can't be asked to go do things with the other people. WHATS WRONG WITH ME?!?! I'm just like everyone else!!!". I have the same feelings about relationships as you do. I always hear about peoples dates, and how they are so in-love. I've had to go out of town for every single boyfriend i've had. I'm currently in about a year long realationship with a guy, whom i honestly love, but lives 10 hours away. Oh its so hard =( Serously.. why can't I get asked out here in my town?
ugh.. i hear ya.. I'm an upcoming senior.. I'm outta here in 1 year - and i can't wait. My HS years have been dreaded!
Take Care.. hang in there!
well, i am a mother of a junior in hs, and she is so sweet and pretty, but because of her depression, she is not a part of a clique and is picked on a lot; it upsets me so much because teens can be cruel when they want to, and they are not giving her a chance at all; just wanted u to know that u r not alone; thanks for putting this up, and i hope things get better for u :)
sincerely,
sandy
