Experience Project

posted by Beyond Blue | 10:15am Monday August 6, 2007

While at BlogHer I learned about the Experience Project. EP allows users to anonymously tell their life experiences and stories and connect with other users that share those same experiences. They have a great deal of content around depression and members appear to be quite active both sharing their stories and feelings as well as going on the site to provide others with support. I found it to be a great resource to connect with others and would love to hear what you think.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought I’d feature an interview with a very cool licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist that I was lucky enough to meet in person at a book signing back in September. Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior re

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

The Treasures of Darkness
We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C

Hi Therese!
Thanks so much for the mention. Experience Project began its life as a hope-oriented, positive discussion forum for multiple sclerosis patients.
Through that experience, I saw the power in connecting people, anonymously, who understood each other’s life predicaments far better than even friends and family. That became Experience Project– where we connect our members based on the experiences they have had.
We do indeed have a large and very active “I Battle Depression” group and are always striving to improve what we provide to the community at large. The thoughts of a luminary like yourself, and that of your warm community, would be highly valuable for us. Thanks again.
Best,
-armen berjikly
