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.
Sorry Manysighs - just wanted to give you a HUG and say welcome... like life there are good and bad people here.... I have gotton so much good and honeslty, I post all the time, have had two misunderstandings.... one I explained and I really hope we are friends now she is ace, the other I messaged explained myself and had the sweetest reply back from I hope he/she comes back soon....
It's a nice place, just like anywhere and it's sad to say don't leave everything out there until you can make friends with people you can trust...
Sorry would have messaged this but MASSIVE HUGS for you anyways and welcome.
I don't post much because I find people don't always stick to the original posters thoughts, questions, ideas. And many times it turns into power struggles and flaming. I know it is a public board but there is a reason it is a depression board. I also don't agree with all the "attacking" that happens. Were most of us not taught
if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. We all have different opinions and arguing isn't going to help.
Surely...

It's not hard... I know you are all in pain. But so is everyone else who comes here, they are looking for help and it is not a good thing to put down others to make yourself feel better... troll or not... it's not cool.
But then one became 2, 3, 4..........
In a place like this, even with the bickering, there's someone for everyone with regards possible lasting friendships.
Stay damn you!
I would lurk for awhile like I did before but I think DS is a great place for distraction from depression & anxiety especially with the fun posts.
I had not really laughed for a long time until I found this place.
