This board is about recovery...and recovery covers all of the aspects of a lifetime (because the people here are from all different age groups...and even infants, toddlers, and young children are "represented" by their parents or other relatives).
When I first discovered this board, I discovered a place that was---to me---seemingly "magical"...where there were (again seemingly) all of the colors of the rainbow, and where all of the permutations of POSSIBLE life (at least, in our mutual cultures) were represented.
I have always looked upon this incredible place as being the late twentieth century, and now steaming directly through the twenty-first century, equivalent of the storied Library at Alexandria...with the intellectual and wisdom resources of our literal "world" represented, and made available to anyone who wanders in (as I did), and then perhaps stays (as I have).
For very good reasons, you may not think your depression is "curable," and you may be totally correct AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME...
...but down the road a day, or a month, or a year, or a few years, there MAY be a treatment for YOUR depression that surfaces...and if so, you're likely to read about it first, right HERE.
When people leave Mormonism, and most especially if they were BIC and raised Mormons, they frequently have no idea of what is "out there" and is, at least potentially, a choice for THEM.
They frequently have no idea what "normal," by non-Mormon standards IS...on ANY level.
One of the great strengths of this board is the multiplicity of insights, and the depths of knowledge, of its members...on just about ANY subject which comes up for any of us in life.
Read what you feel led to at any moment in time, discard what you feel led to discard, and take full advantage of all of the available riches that will enrich your own life.
The strength of this board is in the discovered individuality and diversity of its members, and this is to be celebrated, because there are very few resources available which potentially offer what this board offers twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, for over twenty years now.
When there IS a cure for the kind of depression you deal with, the chances are, you will hear first about that cure right here on this board.
We are on your side, and we hope that you are on OUR sides, too.
