Don't cower your eyes - Teen depression IS real

in life •  8 years ago 

I'm really sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to struggle alone, but always remember that most people don't know what it's like to be truly depressed - not even your family.
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it :)

I didn't take some warning signs serious with my son. I wrote them off as teenage hormones and mood-swings. He didn't appear to be down for long periods of time and most times he seemed happy. It wasn't until he tried to kill himself that I realized that behind his happy face was a very sad boy.

If he didn't want you to know, there was no way you could have found out. People are very good at hiding their true feelings.
