I find it helpful because it keeps me busy! I look forward to being on here when I get home, chatting and getting the chance to see other situations and help if I can. Give DS a chance, many people find it great (then there are those who always complain and find fault, but ignore them...:)
Welcome!
Love,

Everybody can make/take suggestions. So depending on how it works for the person taking the suggestions...will depend on how helpful these forums are to each person.

Everyone copes differently right?? So it all depends on how things work for you as well.

If that makes sense.

I've definitely found it really helpful hun, I find talking to people who know what you're going through very useful because there is so much stigma and misunderstanding about depression. I also feel more comfortable talking to people I don't know and am never likely to meet, I find it makes me open up so much more. Hope it helps you as much as it's helped me babe xxx

Yes, definitely. It's the only place, other than with my therapist, where I feel somewhat comfortable talking about my problems.

Welcome. I mostly come here to help others. It really does get crazy here.........an insane asylum of its own kind but if you grasp on to good friends, you will find support, entertainment and at times.........stress!
Good Luck!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
