The DailyStrength.org website was recently mentioned in the Yahoo! Depression-Anxiety Group as a decent online support group. Someone did complain that their information they posted on their DailyStrength.org personal home page was publicly searchable with Google. I just barely registered for the service, so I haven’t verified the claim of the Google search. After I have spent some time with the service, I will post a review.
A few days ago, I discovered the website for Emotions Anonymous. I wonder how effective such a group therapy like this is for a person dealing with depression. Can the 12 steps help? I suppose if the person has hurt others, the organization might very well help. If the depression is completely internal, I am not sure. I suppose if the depression was also expressed in anger, then it would seem effective. Maybe I’ll attend a local meeting to see if it could help me. I am willing to experiment and discover other forms of therapy that could help.
