‘People Like Us’
“Our initial healing may take place in our therapies or medications, but the final stage of the journey is ours and ours alone.
Yet before this can happen we invariably need to turn to people like us for support, encouragement and the occasional swift kick in the pants.”
John McManamy,
Lawyer, Journalist, depression sufferer.

I found dNet two months ago when I was searching the net for a painless way to
kill myself. It was only through finding this site that I didn't proceed this way.
I learned that there is such a thing as D, that it's manageable and I learned how
manage it. I have myself, my psych and dNet to thank for all these benefits.

“When people are able to help somebody else’s process of recovery, feelings of self confidence and value replace need and self focus…
feelings of trust and the ability to stay connected can diminish the need for external intervention and emergency treatment”
