Greetings to everyone here at our home on the Internet.

This haven, the one we call UKDepressionForum, is forever and always dedicated to the idea of helping everyone.

It is obvious that there is so much pain in the world, way too much. And here at UKDF, we certainly see a great deal of that pain and suffering, a feeling that seems to run prevalent in the world today that no one cares.

It is an ironclad belief of this forum:

WE CARE. WE HELP. WE LISTEN. WE SUPPORT YOU.

Please, all of you, listen carefully. The administrators, the moderators, the senior members, junior members, members and newbies, each and every one of us has known some kind of pain and loss in our lives. We have so many common experiences that we can share and use to learn from each other, things that have happened to us that may help someone else avoid going through the same kind of pain.

It becomes so obvious reading through the posts on this forum that there is a sense of disconnect in today's world. People have lost something.

Well, UKDepressionForums is here to tell you, each and every one:

WE HAVE FOUND SOMETHING SPECIAL HERE.

We virtually connect with each other, some of us meet in real life, we talk by phone, some of us have even met and fallen in love and married (no fooling!).

Always, ALWAYS remember, my friends:

This is a place that cares. We are family. As with any family, sometimes we may not like everyone. We will have our disagreements. We will have falling outs. BUT!!! Always, always ...

WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

There is enough pain in the world already. Let's all of us remember that, and help each other relieve some of that pain.

We have experienced extreme kindness at this forum. We have experienced love at this forum. And we have experienced loss at this forum.

But we always have each other.

Be excellent to each other. Care for each other. And help each other.

Let us all make the world a better place than it was when we came into it.
