Feeling depressed? You’re not the only one — and you don’t have to face it in silence. Depression Sanctuary offers a free, safe, and supportive depression chat room where adults who are feeling depressed can connect with others who understand what it’s like to live with depression. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or just need someone to talk to, our chat rooms are open 24/7 and provide a compassionate space to share what’s on your mind.

Our community is made up of people just like you — individuals who know how hard life can be when you’re struggling with your mental health. Our chats are anonymous, moderated by trained volunteers, and grounded in empathy, peer support, and respect. You won’t find judgment or pressure here — just people who listen, relate, and care. If you’re feeling depressed and you’ve been looking for a depression support group that’s available anytime, anywhere, you’ve found a safe place to start.

Important note: If you are feeling suicidal or in crisis, please know that help is available right now. While we are a supportive community, we are not a crisis line and cannot provide emergency assistance. If you are in the U.S., call or text 988 or visit the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to chat with a trained counselor. For international resources and other crisis options, please visit our suicide hotlines and crisis resources page.

If you have questions or concerns about our community or how to join the chat room, email us. We’re always happy to help.
