Probably you're asking: "What is it? Why lifeboat?"

 

Well this small part of the website is called "Lifeboat" for various reasons:

 

"Lifeboat" in it's root meaning is a boat that is used in any ship emergency, to save the lives of the ship passengers and crew.

 

Here it has the same intent: save the lives of the passengers and the crew. We (who work at this website) are the crew and you (person who comes here to navigate) are the passengers.

 

And there are some other ways to look at this meaning:

 

Being in a lifeboat after an emergency can let the boat to stay adrift, lost in the sea and those inside the boat need to work together to stay alive and reach some safe place.

 

That's how we feel: lost and adrift in our lives, and we started working together to try finding something that gives us some "meaning", hoping that this way we can find something to fill our lives with something good.

 

We started sharing some silly things but here is where the SERIOUS things are: we (probably more me than Jeh, but she usually revises my texts when it's important) will be talking about depression (in a good way to help people), work and any other thing we can think about to discuss in a more mature way.

 

At a first moment I will be talking about my depression problems and how I deal with it.

 

I wrote an introduction that is here ->

 

 

Maybe you're not interested, maybe you think that this "depression" thing is not for you, but I think that everyone knows someone that went through a hard time, felt sad and depressed, then maybe this is for them and you can tell them about this place.

 

Or you can read and try to understand what happens and try to help them. It's up to you ^^, I'm here to share and if you feel like accepting what I'm sharing feel free to do it.

 

Love, <3
