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 all -
i have to be honest...this community is really frustrating me right now.
the in-fighting and general focus seems to have turned in the last few days, and that's just not acceptable. while we generally try to take a backseat and let people figure things out amongst themselves, it doesn't seem to be working.
we are going to temporarily more aggressively patrol this community, and we are going to delete discussions and comments that are either rude, inappropriate or fail to advance the mission of this community - which is people helping people. we WILL ban folks from DS who prove to not be able to control their temper.
we are going to be much harder about enforcing the rules here, and i ask all of you to think twice before you post something inappropriate. if someone else breaks the rules, DO NOT respond with venom of your own...instead, tell us.
i understand that some of you aren't happy with our new categories and attempts we're making to improve the features for this large community, and that's fine...but it shouldn't be the entire focus of this group. in about 2 weeks, we're going to have a new community where a member can talk directly to DS about their ideas or issues. please understand that our changes are a work in progress, and we are listening.
lastly, we at DailyStrength don't want to get into a "he said, she said" argument about who's wrong. our focus is simply getting the community back to it's original, and core mission, which is supporting each other.
as i've said before, i suffer from depression just like the rest of you. i come to this community not as a job, but as a personal support tool for me as well. it needs to get back to that.
thanks for listening.

I can't wait for it to be like it was when I first got here!!
better define this and put it in writing somewhere so people have easy access to the rules....(for those who may "forget", you know?)
just my humble opinion
