Depression Hangout is an online support group. We only have a couple of dozen members at any one time, so we tend to get to know each other pretty well. Despite our name, we welcome anyone with any kind of mental health problem. We are all at different stages of recovery and you don't even have to be actively messed up to belong here. Some of us use it as a place to stay sane.
The heart of our site is the chatroom where we can meet, have a laugh, have a cry, or just be accepted as we are. There is also a support forum for us to vent, and to give and to receive the support we need when we're hurting. We each have a Profile Page that can be decorated in whatever colours we like, where we can post photos and keep a blog; and where other members can leave comments and messages.
The main area of the site is for members only and is accessed by logging in with a username and password; but we are always open to new members joining us who could benefit from belonging to the Hangout. We operate as a collective, run democratically by our members.
If you would like to join the Depression Hangout, all we need is a short email from you telling us a bit about yourself. And if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. We'd love to hear from you!
