Revising main categories
Some users of this wiki seem to have misunderstood the initial high-level categorization that was helpfully provided by the host. Category:Browse is the standard "top" or (looking at it another way) "root" category, the only one that should have no parent category. The two main categories just below it were (in the standard scheme) "Content" - what the wiki is about - and "Organization" - how the wiki works. Viewers wanting to "browse" articles related to depression don't often want to have to look at or have to scroll past categories such as "Policy", "Categorization", "Copyright", "Rules", "Administrators", etc. I'm keen to rearrange some of the higher-level categories accordingly. Anyone want to comment?
Online support groups
When looking for a support group online, be sure to choose carefully. You can find online support groups through a search engine, or through social media sites like Facebook. One advantage and disadvantage of Facebook is that most people use their real names there. You can get advice on medications, advice for coping with stress, and advice on dealing with situations that cause stress. However, you should be careful which situations you share with the group since it could be shared outside the group, or potentially viewed by someone outside the group.

Some natural tools to help against depresson
Hi there everybody. To give you a brief into to myself; Ive suffered from mental problems in the past which I have spent a very great deal of time learning to fight against. In my time Ive covered the whole plethora of self help, NLP, learned a lot about psychology, religion and spirituality and more. I now post my thoughts on depression (among other things) and tools against depression on my site arolemodel.com.
I hope you might be able to find there some exercises that might help you. I know not everyone is able to help themselves without meds and do certainly hope meds work out well, but Im personally more interested in self help and psychological tools people can use against depression and that is what I post most.
Take your time to have…

Step 1 workbook exercises
Here are my answers to the questions at Step 1 workbook exercises
- Wow, this is a tough place to start. Admitting that I am powerless over my depression isn't an easy thing to do. It means to me that I am not in control. That can be a very scary way to think about things. Luckily for me, this isn't the first time that I've reflected on this statement. I've also come to realize that this admission can actually be empowering if you think about it the right way. If I take a moment to set aside my pride, I realize that since depression out of my control, and I can spend my energy on things I can change. I am depressed, and I can't snap my fingers and change that. My life is out of control. I've lost my job, my girlfriend, and my friends…
