Depression Support Group

Welcome to our Support Group for Depression. This Discussion board is for members dealing with depression to share their experiences and support one another.

If you're under 18, you might feel more at home in the Teen Depression community - http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Depr... - where you'll be able to talk to people your own age.

And, if you're a friend or family member of someone who suffers from depression, you might prefer our Depression Supporters community - http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Depr...

Some important things to understand before you get started:

- This is an un-moderated forum. You may come in contact with content or members you do not agree with or even find offensive. We offer an important tool that can help you deal with dischord: IGNORE USER. Below the avatar of each poster is an Ignore User link. Clicking this link, when signed in to your account, will hide all of that member's content from your view. Our Ignore User feature also has more refined controls that can allow you to block incoming messages from a specific user and un-ignore a member. Please read our ignore user FAQs for more information - http://www.dailystrength.org/help/faq

- This is a public forum. The information you post on this discussion board can be viewed by anyone on the Internet, including search engine spiders such as Google. We ask that you refrain from posting personal information such as your full name, address, phone numbers. Do not disclose the personal information of others either as this is a violation of our Terms of Service. Violations can result in suspension or banning of your account. For more information about privacy and anonymity on DailyStrength, please read our journal on the subject - http://www.dailystrength.org/people...

- Use our Depression Community Leaders. We have a handful of veteran members who have volunteered to take a leadership role in this community. They can help you get acquainted with the community, answer questions, or just 'be there' for support. Please read our sticky topic titled 'Welcome from our Community Leaders' for a current roster and more information.

- Finally, please remember that this is a place for support and observe our Rules of the Road - http://www.dailystrength.org/help/r... And, again, make use of our Ignore User feature and Report Abuse form - http://www.dailystrength.org/help/r... - if you need to.

Thanks, TeamDS
