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 a friend who lives in Brownsville, PA and she has suffered from 3 early miscarriages, sexual & child abuse. She's 20 years old. She has lost it a few times while talking about suicide... She has suicidal thoughts almost every day. She says she doesn't want to talk to anyone.... She refuses to seek out help. She doesn't have money for a psychologist... So I'm looking for maybe a pen-pal type thing in her area in case she does do something, so someone can get help. I live in Texas and met her through my husband. About a week ago we thought she killed herself, called 911 and they were unable to get ahold of anyone in her area.... Also, if anyone knows of a miscarriage, suicide, depression or similar support group that may be able to help her, please let me know... I'm doing everything I can from hundreds of miles away...
I found this. Hope it helps.

I know the pain of losing a child, especially at such an early age as I lost my firstborn when he was 5 mos. old and I was 19.
