Yikes! Looks like nobody has posted here in a year, but I'm pretty desperate.

Looking for an active message board for (caregivers of) dementia patients. Maybe it's just that Yahoo isn't working this morning, but I can't seem to find any place online to get help.

Thanks,

Hello,
I'm the new gal here.
I have some questions regarding bipolar and manic depression and non-treatment through medication nor counseling therapy.
The situation, my ex-husband, who never informed me he was diagnosed with these years ago, (only came up during divorce counseling), claims he does not need treatment for these illnesses and that his doctor will agree with him.

I am a compulsive gambler.

Hello, I'm a 17 year old guy from Canada and I've realized I've never been depressed until 2 years ago when it got to the extent I wanted to kill myself. I dreamt about what would happen if I did die and how people will see me at the funeral, and often when I thought of these, I would cry myself to sleep (it's very sad). Somehow I don't think I fit into this world, ...
