Ok, this is an idea I came up with after reading many forum posts in the “World Events, Politics, Religion, Etc.” section.  I have noticed that there are a lot of depressed people that are looking for help and not really getting it.  A lot of people just shrug it off and say that “there are a LOT of people worse off than they are”.  I don’t want to hear any of that on this thread.  The people saying this don’t usually know what its like for the victims of depression.  Depression is a mental condition usually triggered by a traumatic event or series of events.  The victims can’t help it.  The official title of my program is Armor Games Big Brothers.

My idea is to have a group of volunteers to just talk with the for lack of a better word “patients”.  People would sign up for either a spot on the volunteer group or the patient group.  The volunteers would be assigned a patient to talk to and help them out.  There would also we a group of “anytimers” who would be volunteers that are not assigned a patient and are for talking to patients who’s “big brother” isn’t on, away for a while or if they need to talk NOW.  I will be an anytimer.

Volunteers: I will randomly assign you a patient to talk with.  Do not take this job light heartedly, the patients genuinely need help.  You could change someone’s life forever, or even save it.  You will talk with your buddy on a regular basis until they don’t need you.  Please inform your buddy if you won’t be on for a while and when you are usually available.

Patients: Sign up for this if you need any kind of help, just tell me that u want in, and you’ll be in.  Don’t take this as a joke; someone else could use your buddy.  When you feel that you don’t need your buddy tell them and me, and I will reassign them.

Anytimers:  There will be a limited number of spots depending on demand.  Just tell me you want to be an anytimer.  Read above for volunteer description.

I truly believe in this and it is not to be taken lightly.  A lot of people need help and aren’t getting it.  Please help them.  It all starts with a smile.  And you will feel better about yourself afterwards. =)

Well, I'm not sure what you really mean, considering all the symbols you have in your paragraph.

If someone was really depressed they sure as hell wouldn't be playing on AG. Are you a therapist? I would think not. If so, I apoligize, but if someone was in real depression, they need professional help.
