Howdy New Friend -

Welcome to Beliefnet’s multi-faith depression support forum,
where all faiths are welcome 
and where no single faith is more important, 
more valid, or more preferred than another. 

Since you’ve posted on depression support, 
let me say how very sorry I am for your difficulties 
and the tough time you’re having. 
But let me also say I'm very glad that you’ve happened 
on our little corner of Beliefnet. 

This thread is an effort to provide links
to some informative and useful threads.
Feel free to add your own thoughts to any of the discussions.

Again, a warm and hearty welcome to the board. 
We’re very glad to have you with us.
May you find comfort, rest, peace, refuge, and friendship here.

            Sometimes You Just Need to Holler...

          ‘Need a safe place for those times
           when venting is the only response,
         when platitudes and graciousness 
      just aren't gonna cut it,
        when you need to "get it out" 
of your system 
    so that it doesn't backwash 
on your sense of well-being
in the form of unhealthy toxins 
and destructive sleeplessness?
