I think that might actually help some of us who suffer from depression. Its kinda hard to talk about it on the boards because ifu don't have it u really don't know much about it and it might be nice for people to go and talk to other that are in the same situations for support, esp seeing as PPD is a big one esp after loss. Just a suggestion thanks.

I agree that it would be a fabulous addition. I suffered from serious depression after my miscarriage. I know depression is very, very common when you experience a loss. Many on MAL have also suffered from PPD.
Great idea Maria.

I'd like to have some feedback from others to see if there would be enough actively interested people to support a board on depression. I believe that depression is a BIG topic that needs to be addressed, discussed, and we need to learn not to be ashamed of the word depression.
I'm thinking of *maybe* removing the Moving Forward Board as well as one of the other boards that just doesn't get enough visitors to support a separate board.
So..............input from everyone is appreciated!
Love, Clara

I honestly think this is a great idea. I know quite a few mommies have suffered various degrees of ppd. Mal is a fast moving board and at times those kinds of topics get "lost' in the shuffle.
Great idea Maria I'm in full support.
*hugs*

I also support this. I know I felt such shame for how I felt, too ashamed to admit I needed help. Once I did get help and support, that shame went away.

I really really think that this is a good idea.
Depression can be so debilitating...it helps when others are there with you.

I think this is a great idea!!! I suffered PPD after my second child was born it took me almost a year before i got any help. I still have some problems with it especially after my loss. I think it would be great to have a board were everyone understands and can help!

I think that would be a great thing. I know personally I am up and down and surely suffer from depression. It would be great to have a place to talk about it.

I think a board on depression would be great. I am struggling with it myself right now, and I am afraid to talk to anyone around me for fear of what they will think or do. Being able to come here and talk to others who TRUELY understand is something I think we all could benifit from.
