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.

we've added this board with the hopes that folks who need immediate support and advice can find it from other, caring members of DS. It's an experiment, but we hope the net result is that there will be more immediate help to those in need, and your calls for help won't get lost in the general message board activity.

for those of you who are volunteering to help others in need, we applaud and salute you and the entire community appreciates your generosity.

I love this idea. Even if the rest of the categories are scrapped, I think this one needs to stay. Thanks so much for helping keep the focus where it needs to be - on those seeking help.

Thank you this is such a great board as I am a new member and I am feeling like there isn't alot of help when you really want it cause your thread just gets further and further down the page

Errrr....I dont think its working. In fact...judging by what most are saying...it isnt. I reckon just put it back how it was and add an ignore function.

i totally agree with kate. this is not gonna work for me at all!

deleted_user 02/15/2008

I believe it is helping with the important posts that were getting lost in other stuff. I am sorry, I hope it works out for all of you!

deleted_user 02/15/2008

I feel pressured to now check out several boards, to make sure I'm not ignoring someone who needs support. Not a huge fan, but will keep trying.

I will try to make it work. I just hate that posts from those in REAL need are getting lost on the general board. Many people feel "unwanted", not cared for, and lost. "DOC"

It would help if people didn't put "This BOARD needs help" up as every response it gets, blocks a cry for help. I can't sit here, waiting for one to 'pop up' do you see the problem Doug?
We can only see one from the main board. If we are responding to someone else on a different topic, how do we know if we have missed a cry for help?

In my eyes it's not working but lets give it a few days?
