Anyone know of a depression board run like the ICN?

[Kara29]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a depression board that is run just like the ICN. I have feelings I can't share here that would be more appropriate for a depression message board.

Thanks,

Kara

I dont know of a particular one, but I am sure that they are out there, after all there are so many depressed people out there! You might look at yahoo groups. I am just not sure. Hopefully someone else here will chime in with a suggestion for a group that they have tried. Also, your dr may know of a good one that he recommends. Never hurts to ask!

I know you have alot on your plate right now. I do hope that the phantom pain will go away soon so you can start enjoying things again. Hugs, Amy

Kara, I'm really so sorry you are having such a hard time. I hope you can find the help you need. Kara have you ever consider talking to a Pastor. Maybe he can help or guide you to someone that can.

I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now, but my heart is with you and I will keep praying for you.

I agree with Trisanne. I was depressed even after taking antidepressants and 2 drs. told me to talk with a pastor. One of the things that pastors take in school is counseling. His sessions are free too!! I have had a couple of sessions and have been going to his church and feel so much better.

Hang in there, Kara. :pray: :grouphug:

I just Googled "depression message board" & it came up with MANY sites. I truly feel like talking one on one with a professional will benefit you the most, though. Yes, it will help some to talk to others who are going through the same thing, but only a professional can teach you the coping skills that you need to get out of this depression.

I used to be a member of Depression Forums, and from what I remember, they were very helpful

There is another board here http://pub31.ezboard.com/bourdepressionboard

Some at Live Journal as well http://community.livejournal.com/depression/ and http://community.livejournal.com/depressionsucks/

I have a great therapist and Psychiatrist. I see the Therapist every 2 weeks and once in between if things are real bad. She sees my Husbnad too on occasion. I was just looking for others who may be going through the same sort of depression I am which is mostly situational depression based on severe physical illness.

Thanks,
