And don't rule out meds...it's often just a matter of finding the right one for you. Just please stay away from drugs and alcohol. They are tempting but will just get in your way.

How do you deal with depression?
by BlackWolf ini'm currently going through a bout of depression and my eating disorder has gotten worse.
ever since my parents actually told me that they are going to kick me out when i turn 18 i've felt kind of hopeless about my life.
my parents won't take me to the doctor because the psychiatrists won't have my "best interests" aka jw crap in mind, because really that's the root of all my problems.. i'm wondering if any of you guys have any advice with dealing with depression?

Your parents are still required by law to see that you get help. It may not have to be meds. It may be therapy, whether they like it or not. There may be testing that needs to be done. Not getting you the help you need is called neglect. Forcing you to go to meetings is called abuse. Your parents are not doing the right thing by you.
My advice to you? Make art, make art, and make more art. You can hide words in it that nobody will know about but you. And get outdoors if you can, even if it has to be early or late in the day. Cultivating gratitude is also helpful. Be grateful for the person you are, and for everything you do have. You will never have to get baptized...you will never have to be a dub, no matter what they're trying to do. You are a creative...one of those people who simply must be true to yourself. I'm sorry your parents don't understand that. I get the feeling that you will never be a follower, and that's a very good thing. Prepare yourself in to live without your parents, even if you have to rent a room. Find out what things cost and make a plan. It may take you the year to get your ducks in a row.
I am a creative too. You can pm me anytime.

Message from Designer Stubble to the former JWR members
by Designer Stubble inmessage from designer stubble to the former jwr members.
first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.
i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

Love your post Jane M. The sudden closing of JWR has prompted me to look at a number of things, one being "Is it time for me to move on as well?" JWR was a good fit for me...these other sites, no offense, I'm not so sure about. I am 57 and have been out of the org for many years. I've been in therapy and have made a lot of progress...so why AM I still here? I think the answer is that I still want to be there for others who need help. JWR was such a help to me...maybe I need to try and pay it forward a bit. And maybe I do still need to connect with some others who understand this very strange part of my background...and maybe I will still struggle with the old JW crap from time to time and need to vent. So for now, here I am. And if another recovery focused site comes along (Fugue...) I'll be there.
