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.
I have not posted too much because it seems to get nowhere. But i feel that the boards are becoming so unhealthy. It is either a fight or a joke and it used to be more support and less fighting. I know most of us here battle a multitude of different problems. Our ages are as varied as where we live. We have so much experiance and help we could be giving. We understand the challenges of depression and anxiouty and so much more. We don't we do a very good job excepting others. Any time we post things we know are going to stir up trouble it is not helpful. Naming people in a post that is negative does no one any good. I would like it if we respected each others oppinions and let it go at that. We won't ever like everyone but we can be kind to everyone. Please help make this a healthy place for all.

It is, but things arent always as cut and dried as they may seem to someone that dosnt know or hasnt seen the full story. Without meaning to sound like im totaly ignoring you here...if I feel the need to defend myself on the boards for whatever reason and if that means that I have a row then so be it. I have seen this many times. People wanting this to stop, that to stop etc...until it personally happens to them. Then their opinion changes dramatically and they can actually see where the rest of us are coming from. Not wishing to piss any one off with what im saying btw :)

appaud. i am new and don't know these names, I am not having a good day and for people to complain about others statements, well i just don;'t understand. I if felt threatened, as the one who was being hit on yesterday, i would report abuse. I also read that they could come back as some one else's ego.... true... I am careful with the few friends i have. not that anyone really cares what i think since i am new to this site. I guess i just will learn to stay out of discussions that don't concern me... REALLY JUST WANTED TO TELL SCURRIE I AGREE. Today is a day that i may not be able to help, seems like the crying jags have got me..... yet i know they will go away. i will try not to fight these tears.

I understand its hard and we all expect people to understand us. But as a whole we do a poor job of trying to understand others. If we would all stop and just accept each other then more support would come to all here. It starts with ourselves. I will continue to work on this myself.
