Welcome from the community moderators:
Originally this community was specifically for those dealing with destructive coping habits, specifically cutting, but it has evolved to those who are looking for positive ways to help themselves deal with depression. Feel free to post about ways that help you or if you are looking for ideas on how to cope with depression. -Midnight_Swirl
Community Rules
1. Use LJ-CUT Tag if you are posting something triggery.
2. No graphic photos such as self injury pics or other triggery images
3. Do not plug unrelated communities, related ones dealing with depression, meds etc. are okay.
4. I will not allow trolls on this site nor people who are insensitive to members delimeas.
5. If you are new to the community feel free to post an introduction if you wish.
6. Posts related to meds, ways you cope, questions on how to cope with specific problems, updates on how you are doing, etc are all topics that are allowed to be posted here. In general we are a very supportive community and get to know each others lives a little bit.

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by.This is a support group of sorts for those who are serious about healing inner pain and are committed to finding healthier alternatives to self-destructive coping mechanisms.I created this community because I was searching for an anti-cutting cutting community, and couldn't find one. This community isn't just about cutting. It's for everyone who needs support for coming back to health and overcoming setbacks.
Feel free to post your stories, your hardships, how you have survived your
trials and tribulations, and healthy coping skills. We all slip sometimes, but I ask that people who join this group are serious about recovering. -snoopdawg
