good words Paulie, you rockstar ;)
It would be nice for one of the 'nets to create a Mental Health echo or somesuch so that people can openly talk about it, so that they don't
feel concerned about talking on a forum which is a mixture of other messages. IMO I'm totally fine for you to talk about such matters here, just thinking about the masses, that's all.
A lot of people have suffered from being mentally ill for some point or many points in their lives. Myself included. These days, I'm far too
busy to be blue! All I can say is that I put the negative things in my life into a trashcan and surrounded myself with things and other people that fill my cup. If you can, reach out to people that you know you are happiest around. Take lots of exercise wherever possible, and stop to smell the roses. On your side of the planet, springtime is coming, so
you probably can stop to *literally* smell the flowers! Most
imporantly, get plenty of sleep - go to bed at the same time every
night, switch off your mobile phone at least an hour before bedtime,
and do something that calms you like reading a book.
I know that this all sounds simple and possibly patronising (it did for
me when I heard the same advice), but it truly does help.
Wishing you all the best,

I've never had deep depression, but I certainly know that attitude is everything - and have been down myself. Just try to be positive and remember that tomorrow always comes. :P

It's a great idea to have a forum for these kind of discussions, back in the '90s, my othernet had a similar forum. We had a few people on anti-depressants who could compare notes on drugs, dosages and experiences, and it made them feel less alone in their struggles. For someone without issues, it was enlightening.
A lot of the allure of BBSing in the 80s and 90s was for groups of people to support others in their positions and to be supported.
These days, I'm thinking it'd need to be moderated, one rabble-rouser could cause a lot of damage.
