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.
Hi Folks!
In the next few days well be releasing a brand new feature which Im VERY excited about; its called Community Leaders. Community Leaders will be members who will be here to help encourage positive member interaction, member involvement, and foster a sense of community at DailyStrength
Along with helping members obtain and receive positive support, Community Leaders will be greeting new members, finding emerging trends, offering advice to members who post discussion topics, and also helping us locate clear cases of abuse and spam.
Community Leaders will have a "CL" avatar badge, similar to the Team DS badge you see next my avatar. Were also exploring the development of new tools to help them with their administrative tasks. More to come on that soon!
To start things off, I am very pleased to announce ThePepperMan as our First Community Leader! Along with being an avid fan of the Harry Potter books, ThePepperMan has continually offered exemplary advice and support to other members on the site. So starting tomorrow night youll see the Community Leader badge next his peppery avatar!
I should note that while the Community Leader badge will be visible across the entire site, for now ThePepperman will focus on being a Community Leader for the Depression Support Group.
Were currently recruiting additional vibrant members such as ThePepperman for this role, and well be sure to notify you all when this happens. In the meantime, lets give ThePepperman a big high-five and congratulate him for taking on this new role.
Ill check back in on this post a little later to address any questions you all may have.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Just a suggestion, if there are going to be any more community leaders, we should have a secret vote :)
Congrats Peppamayn
very cool idea DS x
We complain we cant get offensive posts removed, will he have that power or will he just be acting as a conduit for our grievances, If he cannot remove those posts himself then ultimately, it is not better than the system we already have.
Dont mean to be a party pooper

pepperman is a great guy but i'm not sure about this.
Glad I am not the only one who can recognize the potential for problems.
I will be open minded and hope for success.
They gave me plenty of time to think about it and to say no. I have no idea how they picked me, their request came out of the blue as we say here in the colonies!
They did say that this position would change in time, but Jesse's words here say everything that I know about the job. So you all know as much as I do.
Please, feel free to PM me at any time. This is especially true if you think I need a kick in the arse!
