PND & AND Online Support Group

**MuminMind** · 10-10-2011 14:47

Greetings, fellow bubhubbers!

The moderators have created a private discussion area for members with perinatal depression. (Antenatal and Postnatal depression) The area aims to be a supportive area where sufferers of perinatal depression can come together for support, education and general chat. This is an accepting place where distressing issues that we may not feel comfortable disclosing elsewhere can be raised.   “Survivors” who have experienced perinatal depression in the past are also encouraged to join; to share their wisdom and hope. It is a place of camaraderie and positive growth!

If you want access to this private discussion area, please message me or the moderator to request the password for this area.
If you go to the section with the heading Not happy? Emotional health issues area, and click on the depression section, you can scroll down and will see a sub-section called Private Discussion Area.
Use the requested password
Once inside the area, you can subscribe to the sub-section to ensure that you always get an email whenever a new thread is started in there. To do that, click on the orange RSS button and follow the on-screen instructions. Because access to the new section is restricted, posts made in there will not appear in new posts and won't be indexed by google, etc

The area now has lots of lovely members and supportive and educational discussions. We are all looking forward to hearing from more of you!

*Shameless bump*

Just wanted to add that the discussion area has been a really great success so far. It is s really supportive space full of intelligent, funny, understanding and supportive ladies who have experiences with PND and/or AND. We agree that talking privately with others in a similar situation has been really therapeutic and positive for us, so we are continuing to look for others who want to join our lovely "family".

Please PM me if you want to join in, and I will give you the password.

Some information for potential new members:

You must have at least 4 posts in total to be able to see the Private Discussion Area. This is a measure to prevent spammers access.

Also, some members have found that they have to log out of bubhub and in again to get access the first time.

Other news: According to my "data", there are now over 40 members of this area, although many are not active. We hope that they still get comfort from reading about others personal experiences with PND/AND.

If there are anyone else out there who suspect that they are experiencing perinatal depression, please do not hesitate to contact me!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the message that you sent with the password - when I go to my inbox under "notifications" it says I can't access that area and that I have no new messages. Help please?? Thanks

**MuminMind** · 18-12-2011 16:24

I sent the password in a mail to you instead, as I still cannot send you a pm on here. Must be due to your low number of posts. Sorry about that!

Maybe you should reply randomly to every new thread that pops up on the forum! Hehe.
