Our Depression Forums Chat Room is opened once again is now open to Members who have attained Junior Member Status or higher to support one anotherand have a lively, fun, Eclectic, OFF TOPIC chatter. Come hang out around the Chat Room, meet new friends. Share your thoughts, relax and get to know each other. Please remember we still are PG13 rated and you still must abide by our DF Terms Of Service, (TOS). We all must exercise good judgement in what we Chat about and we trust you, as our Members, to uphold DF standards in the Chat Room. To help keep DF the wonderful place that it is. A safe Haven for it's members. Please note: * This is a pro-life support Chat Room, no threats of Suicide or you will be reported and kicked off the Chat. * No advocating any illegal act, violence, sexual or drug related. * No posting links, live or just in text. They will be immediately deleted. * No personal or contact information allowed in this forum/chat room. * Remember, no one here is a professional. Our moderators are volunteers. * If you feel triggered, either learn to cope or leave the Chat Room, as you are your responsibility. * Just because you may be suicidal, these rules will still be strictly applied. * Repeated offenses may result in being banned from DF. In order to use this DF chat room, you must be a member of the Depression Forums Community, with at least a five post count. Welcome to DF Chat. This is a place for members to share their experiences, to support each other, to chat and to have a laugh. We know how isolated you can feel if you are suffering from depression, and DF Chat can be a place to reach out and connect with others who understand what you are going through. We are not a crisis intervention room. DF is manned by volunteers who, like you, are struggling with depression. We do not have the resources or professional skills required to help a suicidal member, so if you are having suicidal thoughts, please contact your local suicide helpline ASAP. Check out our suicide help forum for details of a number of suicide related resources that may be of more help to you here: Suicide Helplines/Hotlines. Threatening suicide or even talking of suicide ideation, self harm or self medication in chat is not permitted because it is triggering to other members who, like you, are fragile and trying to recover. Chat is not an online dating site and we ask you not to engage romantic pursuits in chat as people here are, by definition, very vulnerable. We also ask you to note that chat, like the rest of DF, is PG13 rated, and that many people find swearing and casual references to sex offensive and often triggering. Members who are sensitive to some chat topics should immediately tell the group or indicate their sensitivity to other members of chat by using the icon . If a member tells you they are being triggered by your conversation, please change the subject. Most importantly, treat others as you would have them treat you, with respect and sympathy. We are all in this together. These rules are in place to protect all members. DF's primary mission is support. We work to provide a safe haven for people managing mental illness. Your adherence to these rules ensures that chat, like the rest of DF, is that safe haven. Thank you for your cooperation. The Depression Forums Administration
