This is astounding to me that there is not a separate forum for depression alone. Am I just not seeing it?

Thanks for considering!

I agree - consider this a second vote.

and a third

4th vote here

You may have a valid point. I haven't really thought about it. But, Session 3, session 4, session 6, session 7, and session 9 are all to do with depression and how to recover from it and there are individual forums for each of these sessions. So, in fact, there are forums geared to depression. This program is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT. If you read any books on CBT you will discover that a lot of the program, all the sessions I have mentioned, is specifically geared to depression.

vote#5, right i have depression. for me dep gets me 1st. kp

And another vote

I be # 7 to vote

Maybe we should just start our own 'depression' thread. I suppose it would go under the General Comments forum.

It seems there are quite a few of us dealing with depression. I am entering my vote for a forum. I am tired of feeling dumped on, worn out, listless, in pain, and generally feeling like crap.
Having said that, I must say I am feeling better this week having started listening to the tapes and practicing the exercises. The meditation is a little tricky because my three dogs don't think I should have 'alone' time because I'm at work all day. They feel the rest of the time is theirs. Whenever I get on the floor to stretch, I've got two chihuahuas on my chest and my poodle is putting her toy in my face so I'll throw it. If I go in another room, my puppy scratches frantically on the door. What to do? Any ideas?

I don't know how we all might break out into a separate strand, but please include me !! I can only find a few things in here for my specific "spot" in life. And the chat room...yikes...they were talking about the weather, literally ! I need real help here from real, depressed parents (to be exact).

Oh yeah! I'm jumpin' on this too, count me in.

Count me in too.

Hugs and Peace!

hi this is my first time ever in a chat room. i can relate with everybody. i am extremly depressed that i don't know where to start, but my days are locked in my room even though i have two beautiful girls.

Well, we can continue on this thread for our depression 'forum' or start a new topic under the 'General Comments' forum.

Not sure everyone would necessarily look to the 'Suggest a Forum' forum for a discussion about depression but you never know.

What does everyone else think?
