From time to time it is a good idea to take a look at our board and how we function here.


People come to this board seeking support and encouragement as they deal with their own depression or that of a friend or loved one.

Hi cl's. I agree and I hope I dont give bad advice myself. Its hard to give advice when you dont know everything about a situation. I once posted something and someone replied in a way that seemed like she totally misunderstood what I had said. I was very hurt but of course ppl only read what you put up there, so I realized that when I first joined the group.

Well take care all :)

Barb,

I totally agree with you on what you said I remeber when I first came here a year ago I was afraid and I didnt know what was going on with me but everyone made me feel so safe and supported.

I also know that we all do not know everything that is going on n someones life and we only know what they tell us and I have experianced myself from others posts that at times there are people who can be nasty I have not seen those people around latley and as mean as I sound I am kinda glad one of them was very mean to one of our posters here and I have not seen that person around either which I am worried about her.

But I try to put myself in the persons shoes who is writting the post and I try to not say something that will be mean and ovensive but I think at times we are all guilty of doing that in one way or another.

I am very happy that I found this place and I am sure that everyone here can agree with me when I say how lucky all of us are to have found one another even though I have not met anyone here face to face you are all still friends of mine we have all been through alot with one another and some of you know more about me than my own family knows and friends know and I am so grateful to each and every person that comes to this board.
