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.
Why is it that we often only miss something when it is gone? We most certainly, I think you agree, don't often realise quite what we have got until it is too late.
We find little holes in things or in people. We have a bit of a moan. That's human nature.
We have all seen how Doug is trying to improve this site and it's many groups.
A lot of us have felt discontentment regarding the new button. Have asked for an ignore button and contributed to the new ideas thread regarding hugs.
We have been through the ups and downs of people we care for who have left or who are considering leaving.
We debate why we think DS has gone a bit 'downhill'
We all have the choice, it's no good complaining if we don't all pull together somehow and make this a better place for everyone, as was Dougs' intention.
I for one an gatefull that Doug doesn't want to stand still but improve upon what he has helped provide for us.
I would just like to say THANK YOU DOUG I would miss DS if it were gone. I don't want to leave it until too late, do any of you? my friends. xx

it is like having toothache all over my body - worst ever. Did way too much on sat night (dancing!) and now I am paying the price for having fun for a change!brain scan result was unclear so repeating it on 27th plus a spinal cord scan which unfortunately will delay my rheumatology appointment even more.I wish someone would just knock me out right now.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
Doug and DS have given us a tool for support for ourselves and others.
It is up to US to use that tool appropriately.
We all have a voice, we are all of equal importance. Let's get on with getting well, not making hell.
and thanks doug and all of ds and dearest for posting this
