In reply to Depression chat and support at..., posted by jay on August 29, 2002, at 16:50:58
Hey Jay, I've seen you there! For a few months earlier this year I went to Yahoo's Depression Support rooms semi-regularly. I often found it to be supportive and helpful, and sometimes even a lot of fun. But I need to caution all of you, especially those who are the extra-sensitive types. These rooms can occasionally get raunchy or hostile. I finally quit going there even though I'd really enjoyed it in the past because of the few nasty jerks who would show up now and then and start harassing people. I do go back every so often because it was interesting, fun, and occasionally a great source of support. Another plus is that there are always people there even in the middle of the night. If any of you decide to check it out I recommend choosing one of the smaller rooms, since there are several and the bigger ones can be overwhelming at first. And remember that the ignore button is a great feature.
Psychobabble Open is my chat room of choice these days and I would encourage anyone interested to pop in there too.
