Hello everyone,

I'm Jesse and I am a co-founder of the non-profit organization Operation Hope. I want to let you know that I know what it is like to be alone while suffering from depression, anxiety and other things. It's hard and in no way is it an enjoyable or fun thing for anyone to go through. I want you to know that if you are hurting, if you don't know what to do, if you feel that you are alone or no one knows what you are going through or understands, that there is a place for support from those who go through the same types of things that you may go through everyday.

We are a beginning non-profit organization built to bring awareness of depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses and to show support for those who feel alone. We are working on bringing people together and building good relationships with those who may need to know that there are others out there who understand. I invite anyone and everyone to check out our Facebook page and to like it, to help us grow and be able to bring more support to people.

As soon as we are able, and have the funds, we would like to start making t-shirts, bracelets, and other items as well for people. If you are able and willing to donate, you can message me on here or reply to this thread and I will help get the necessary information to you. Anything helps!

Here's a link to our Facebook page. We are working on getting a website soon.

Also I would like to ask that anyone who gets the chance to see this, to please spread the word about us, and share out link with anyone you know who may be going through some tough times, and/or suffering from depression, anxiety and/or other mental illnesses, and to also share with those who may not suffer from any of these, but who just want to help spread the word. Thanks!

And remember: You are not alone.

Jesse Johnson
Co-Founder of Operation Hope

Hi I think its great what you are doing as most of my family suffers from depression (including me) and other mental and physical illnesses of which I also suffer from many although its only my physical illnesses hurting me at the moment and I'm feeling like a kite flying ,in the terms of how I feel mentally at the moment but I feel its going to crash in a tree any time now and it seems its already going down again and I will show my mum your facebook page as she is suffering a lot at the moment

pokemon1253 : Thank you for your support I am always happy when I know we can help someone in any way. I myself have suffered pretty extreme depression, anxiety and such for quite a few years. I'm glad that you found my thread and that you can help join us If you have any questions, you can message the page or ask in this thread

tornadocam : Thank you for your reply and support We actually help support with all things, including Autism I have two brothers and a cousin with Autism. I am happy that you learned not to be ashamed of your Autism, some of the most wonderful people I have ever met have Autism, be proud of who you are! Would you be willing to share our page on your page, and we will kindly return the favor? And our page we try and keep it from being solely religious for the main reason that we don't want someone to come to our page who may not be a Christian, see only Christian things and be turned away. We want EVERYONE to feel completely comfortable with us (though, all of our Admins and finders are Christian). I hope to further talk with you about this

God Bless
