Any of these types of forums for depression?

I came on these forums while trying to deal with the break-up of a 2 1/2 year relationship. That said, it was clear, even as the relationship was ending, that it was largely due to the fact that I've been depressed a while. So, I'm curious if there is a resource similar to this for depression alone because, as much as I'd like to keep doing the "lone wolf" thing and thinking I'll improve on my own; it just ain't working.

 

I've done some google searches but all the sites I've found seem to be really scientific stuff or things designed to help you find anti-depression meds. I'd like to try to solve this problem without meds if possible and I think a strong forum such as this would be really useful.

 

Anyone know of any good sites?

Google healingwell. Healthboards. Or just google depression and forums, I'm sure many will come up.

 

I am sorry to hear that you're suffering depression..

 

Seek counselling, and the type of therapy is need is called Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. CBT is specialized in dealing with anxiety and depression WITHOUT meds, and it's talk therapy.

I am suffering from MDD (pretty much permanent).

 

I'm on a forum called Wing of Madness, you can Google that. It's pretty good for people whom are suffering with moderate-to-severe depression. But I have to warn you, if you're in a really bad mood or in a down cycle, to be careful while reading posts - some are very, very triggery. But it's helped me out quite a bit.
