Forums or Websites For People Suffering From Depression?

I'd never thought I'd come here to ask this but does anyone know of community websites for people suffering from depression?

First, I apologize for this long rant...

Okay so, I've been going through depression on and off since middle school. I homeschooled until the 8th grade and moved to another city with my mom and her boyfriend (who my brothers and I didn't know very well). The whole situation was awkward add to the fact that I wasn't making friends. I'm now a 20 year old with still no social life, I dropped out of college, and have been unhappy for a long time. I've contemplated suicide, attempted once, and have cut myself to relieve the pain of feeling lonely. My parents are divorced and I don't feel comfortable talking to either of them about my problems and my brothers don't care.

I would just like to connect with other people who are going through something similar in hopes that I can be pulled from under these dark clouds I've been stuck with.

here are some groups here on yahoo.

i am in a personality group and it has been very beneficial in my treatment of borderline personality disorder.

i am so very sorry you going through all this depression. i wish i had all the right answers and advise, if i did i promise i would give them to you. all i can tell you is life with depression can get better. i know you may not believe that, but its true. i have lived and suffered with bipolar II ultradian, borderline personality disorder with histrionic traits for over 25 years. life is hard as hell, but i keep up the good fight. please dont give up hope!

i wish you nothing less than the best! just remember you can be a surviver of this! you'll be in my thoughts.

hugs,
Lesli

I know what you mean. Depression can be tough. A good website is dailystrength.org. Theres a forum there too. It might also help to get some counceling, and maybe get on medication. Just try to keep yourself busy and surround yourself with positive, happy people.

Best of luck and take care

Here's a few:

http://www.psychcentral.com (Click on forums. Also has good info)
http://www.crazyboards.org
http://www.nami.org/template.cfm?section...
http://www.dbsalliance.org (Has an online support group. Can also locate local DBSA groups)
http://www.moodgarden.org/

You should probably check out depression.com. I've used some of their resources in the past and had great results. You may find what you are looking for there, or at least a link to another site that will help you. Good luck and God bless.

This board is for Anxiety. Look on the site to find the one you think you need.

dont go there. depressed people helping depressed people never works out. go to a counselor or someone that isnt depressed

You don't need to apologize, you are what you are. I have had depression most of my life. There are some websites out there but my experience has not been very good with them. A lot of people go to these web sites and say and do things that actually hurt people with depression. I would suggest a good psychiatrist who could send you to some groups with others who understand where you are coming from. This is my opinion. Whatever you do try and not be alone in you pain and suffering. Get some help from somewhere other than web sites.
