Welcome to our chatroom

Our free chat room offers 24/7 peer support to people suffering from depression and anxiety. Our depression and trivia chat rooms are moderated by a team of dedicated volunteers, who may also be suffering from depression and anxiety.

Our chatroom is available for those aged 18 and above, for anyone between the ages of 13 and 17 we suggest you try our forums for support. We recommend that anyone under the age of 18 seeks help from a trusted adult such as a parent or guardian, school counsellor or medical professional.

For the safety of everyone who uses the chatroom, we do have rules that everyone is expected to follow. When you enter the chatroom it is understood that you have read and accepted these rules and agree to follow them.

Our purpose

Our main objective is to provide a free, peer-based, relaxed, supportive atmosphere in which you can talk to others about depression, anxiety and other related health concerns. You can do this by giving and receiving support with others in our community.

Please note, this room is in no way intended to replace any form of professional treatment. If you are in need of immediate assistance please call your local emergency services, or search our database for crisis line numbers in your area.

Although our depression chat room generally has a laid back atmosphere, we ask that all visitors read our rules as to what is generally acceptable in these rooms. The main goal is for everyone to show respect, consideration and understanding to others at all times.
