One writer shared a web address for a mental health page . I found this site to be helpful. It is a good resource for learning about mental health issues as well as a source for discovering more online communities. The second group that I joined is Wing Of Madness. This group is a depression forum.
People write in about various problems with their struggle against depression.
What I found touching about the forum is the level of concern in the responses. It was difficult for me to read the postings because it is hard for me to share in others misery. I am not really sure if this could prove to be uplifting for me. But the people that respond are genuinely concerned and really do show compassion and a desire to help the people who post. Perhaps they have learned ways to detach and transcend depression enough that they can help others.
