(((((((((((((Jeff)))))))))))))

Welcome to PC.

I have had the pleasure of meeting you tonight in chat. I think that the fact that you recognize that you may have a problem with depression is the first step. I know that you dont like to verbally talk to people about this and that is ok. Writing is a great tool. Like I told you, I find it easier to write things as I can express myself better.

I would definitly stay invloved in basketball. Outside activity is a good way to get help with depression. I would also limit your activity with your games. Sometimes isolating for hours and hours isnt very good for you. Another thing, stop smoking the pot Jeff. You are far to young to get mixed up in that. There are much better things, healthier things that you can do. It's not "cool" as some people think.
I would try to talk to your mom about your depression. If that is not possible, maybe a school couselor or someone like that.

It is also good to post here. Venting is good. Expressing is good. Please post as often as needed.

Well jeff, I am glad you found this place and hope that your needs can be met here. If you have any problems, questions or whatever, you can PM anyone for assistance.

Take care (TC) ,

Jen
