This depression and suicidal feelings support group was founded, because there are lesbian and bisexual women needing a place to reach out for help...maybe being a lesbian or bisexual woman in other depression groups, can leave you *not feeling comfortable* in a supposedly hetero environment, especially with issues of sexuality. Whether you are Lesbian, a Bisexual woman, or Trans, you are very welcome joining this friendly and supportive group. Please note that this depression support / suicide help group is ONLY FOR WOMEN! We may be a depression support group but we certainly are not always depressing!
If you find the amounts of e-mails coming you can contact a moderator to have them change your e-mail settings so you can either read a digest and skim topics or you can change to no e-mail and read the posts on the group website.
If you have an urgent topic that you need immediate replies to please put something like HELP, URGENT, or TRIGGER in the subject line to make sure it gets the utmost attention as there can be some light hearted not so serious chat that happens at well and we would not want anyone to get lost in the midst.
If you have an issue with the group as a whole or certain members PLEASE contact the group owners so that they may resolve the problem for you! we would hate to see anyone leave over something that their may be able to be resolved
You are not alone.
