Livejournal Depression
About:
Livejournal Depression Community
An emotional condition characterized by feelings of hopelessness, inadequacy, etc.


This community is for people who suffer from depression. It's an open community, but please be supportive. Someone on the brink of suicide does not need your condescention and anyone who feels the need to criticize will be banned.

Community Warnings:
-It's fine to promote your/other communities only if it's depression related. I will ban you if you break this rule.

-If somebody's asking for tips on how to kill themself and you respond with ideas, I'll give you a warning and delete your comment- OR you may be banned. It really depends on the situation.

-If somebody posts feeling suicidal and you respond with offers to help the person end their life, you will be banned.

-Please refrain from using inappropriate user icons in the community (Please read LJ FAQ #107: Content that incites violence against an individual, race, ethnicity, or orientation, pornographic content, etc).

-Please refrain from posting hate speech (racism, nazism, etc.) when posting in the community. We want to keep this a safe zone for everyone.

Comment policy is here.

Web-quizes and pictures: Depression related web-quizzes and surveys may only be posted behind an lj-cut. If it is not behind a cut or not on topic it may be deleted. Any 'triggering' written material should be put behind a clearly marked cut as well to give people the choice of whether they want to handle it or not. 'Triggering' pictures should not be posted. If you want to post pictures of yourself or something else depression-related, then please use an lj-cut.

Some personal notes from the maintainers:

If you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to someone who's willing to listen. I've been through hell and back, so please know that there is someone out there who understands.
~[info]kily~

As [info]kily said, we're always here to listen. We know what the deal is because we live it every day of our lives, just like you. Feel free to leave a comment in my journal or to contact me through the methods listed in my user info if you need something (or anything).
~[info]altrocks~

We do care, and we understand what depression is all about because we have gone through or are dealing with struggles that you might be familiar with too.
You can reach salmongirl on my LJ, or any of the methods listed in my user profile. Feel free to leave a message on my LJ and I'll get back to you ASAP.
