Our Community
Who we are
We are a community for people who have lived through or are living through depression. We choose to manage our moods and our lives as effectively as we can – to live as full lives as possible – and to encourage others within the community and within the world at large to be active in living their lives well.
What we believe
We want to understand our emotions – including even the darker emotions like depression, and its cousins grief, loneliness, jealously and anger.
We want to identify the things that feed our negativity and drag us down and to develop the skills of sustaining hope and optimism despite the circumstances we find ourselves in.
We want to encourage ourselves to develop effective problem-solving strategies to help us deal with the things that block us, and to become more confident and secure in applying these within our everyday lives.
What we can offer you
Our community is a diverse one with much to offer…

Opportunities to share your own wisdom
