I’ve never done this before, but it seems appropriate now. One of the members of [Cecil’s Place](http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cecils_Place/), an on-line support group for depressed Dopers is going through a very rough time and I need your help. I set up the group, but I’m not at my best at dealing with this person. For those of you who are members, if you could please go out there and help this person, I’d appreciate it. For those of you who aren’t, out of respect this person’s anonymity and privacy, I’m afraid I’m not in a position to give you more information right now, although you’re welcome to offer support here, if you like.

Thank you very much for your help.  
CJ

I can’t do much, **Siege** , being down here in NZ. If I _can_ do something, email me.

I’m thinking good thoughts and hoping that anyone in pain gets help and gets better.

I just subscribed, having had some troubles with depression in the past (and sometimes still today). I’ll see if there’s anything I can do.

Joining up right now. If I can be at all helpful, I’ll try. And you know my e-mail, **Siege**.
