soc.support.depression.misc

newsgroup: soc.support.depression.misc

There's a crystal fragility that surrounds the posts of soc.support.depression.misc. Many of the participants are refugees of the larger soc.support.depression, but it grew too large and there were too many trolls for comfort. The overwhelming atmosphere is one of vulnerability and a community based on defining what "normal" is and where they fall in these parameters. In this support group medicine cocktails are compared, steam is released, and permission is granted to feel like shit. What is striking about this group is the sense of sanctuary. All of these participants are mothers, fathers, children, and friends with the everyday stresses and demands compounded by various flavors of depression. This is the place that the connection is made with people "who understand." Included are various URLs and pointers to other specific support groups. - D.L.J.
