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.
Just read a post in a different group noting that it is sometimes possible to locate our DS profiles and journals by typing in our user names. I have a user name that is relatively common on many sites, but on the first page of the Google search I did, indeed, find a reference right back to my profile on DS. I've since gone in and limited my journal access to friends only and also edited my profile -- but the original profile description still shows on Google.
I'm probably naive not to have thought of that before now, but thought I'd mention it in case there are others out there who aren't aware of it and might find it of some concern.

Not everyone would care, but I had written some journals about friends or work that I wouldn't really want anyone who knows me personally to read.
Hope that makes more sense.
