I've posted quite a few things about my depression since joining the site. I know I joined the group but didn't realize I'd joined the group. So, essentially, I didn't know this group existed. LOL

Daily Check in! I thought it might be productive to have a thread where everyone just piles in and checks in everyday if they have time. Just touch base say "hi" add a bit of wisdom. Tell us how you are doing, what you have planned for the day....
