Hello surfer,

If you're feeling depressed, anxious or suicidal; afraid, angry or confused; stressed, lacking in self confidence, mad, sad or bad - don't despair. Get online. Visit us at www.theblackdog.net

Many people who are depressed, or who suffer from other forms of mental distress have severe difficulty facing the day. This is one of a wide variety of symptoms experienced by those of us whose mental well-being is impaired. Suicide is an ultimate and increasingly common expression of how bad things can get.

www.theblackdog.net is Ireland's interactive self-help site for men coping with mental turbalence. It is a place for men to visit, take their time, exchange views and information which might be useful. We are confidential, independent, non-judgemental, readily available, free of charge and easy to switch off.

Come in, have a browse and remember:
those who conquer believe they can
