Lots of our missions are related to helping someone who is suffering from depression or just feels upset for some reason. We leave positive notes,post motivational images on our tumblr or google accounts,message them ect. It's great that they get someone to talk to,a friend.
BUT in more severe cases,we should be very careful,because our actions could have unexpected consequences. What I am suggesting is to try to learn more about it,if you want to help and most importantly immediately contact a professionist if you find someone in serious condition. Let everyone here know if you need help with some particular case. We're a group after all.
A good thing might be to find dollars a psychologist consultant to help us.

Here are some tips:
How should I talk to a person in crisis?
Stay calm. Talk slowly and use reassuring tones.
Realize you may have trouble communicating with your loved one. Ask simple questions. Repeat them if necessary, using the same words each time.
Don’t take your loved one’s actions or hurtful words personally.
Say, “I’m here. I care. I want to help. How can I help you?”
Don’t say, “Snap out of it,” “Get over it,” or “Stop acting crazy.”
Don’t handle the crisis alone. Call family, friends, neighbors, people from your place of worship or people from a local support group to help you.

0_0 i like that pic

and i agree, the Dollars do need a pro to help with situations like these.
if there are any pro psychiatrist in the Dollars i would like to ask all of them to help out in the personal board, or anyone anywhere at all you think needs help

>>2 Glad you support this. I've been thinking about it since someone posted on the main that he wants to die. Not sure if just a troll,but in any case we couldn't help,because we are not qualified.

Everyone should check this .

>>3 members of the sket dan already do things like this, but it would be great to get help support from more Dollars

(btw im not sure it wasnt a troll....but i hope not :/)

bump up not off (sorry wanna bump an older thread back up)

up...

More of this please. Speaking from personal experience, depression is debilitating to say the least. Got a medical discharge from the Marines because of it and there are times it will bring the weight of the world down on my shoulders(about every couple days on average). Still have yet to find a way to effectively beat it at all so I just end up toughing it out as best I can but that scares me how close it gets sometimes. The more people out there to help people not go through that the better.

I guess I might as well post here. I actually joined Dollars because I was desperately looking for some community where I'd fit in. I've led a pretty successful life in everything but social endeavors. The problem is, when you appear successful, no one gives a damn if you're depressed -- because what reason could you possibly have, right? I searched on a whim and was thrilled to find this site actually here and active, but I'm still trying to figure out where I fit into the whole picture...

>>24 Everyone you see here are just members, nobody really has a higher standing than anyone else. There are just some members that are more active then others.

Oh no, I understand how the non-hierarchy works. I just mean, I hope I can contribute something to the group.

Oh! Well, we have a number of boards geared towards different things, and most of the threads on there are discussion topics. I'm sure that you will be able to find a place that you like on this site.

count me in, I am definitely gonna help in things I can , and this one of many things I am good at

Bump!
