Voice of Steemit(VOS) is your hidden voice, the pain and anger you house inside YOU. Share your story of depression through us to the world!!!
Depression is one topic that touches almost everyone in life, we all go through that phase in life where we suffer in silence. Fortunately some of us will always have right people around us to share our sorrow during this tough phase of life, whereas there are many who continue to suffer in silence and when they no longer can sustain the pain, they end up taking down their lives.
Through this campaign we bring out such people, give them the hope that they are not alone in their fight, connect them with people on Steemit who are ready to share their sorrows, bring them back to healthy mental state of life by giving them a supporting system. While we do all this the identity of person sharing his/her story will be completely hidden for all the right reasons.
Steps to be followed while sharing your story :
Write about your current state of mind and make sure you don't reveal your identity while you write.
Without any personal details mentioned, submit your story through an anonymous google forms link mentioned below
Google Form Link To Submit Your Story
- Make sure you mention your BTS ID (BitShares User ID), if you don't have one make sure you get an account created on Bitshares DEX
VOICESHARE tokens are on BitShares! So make sure you have a BitShares Wallet to receive the tokens. It is a simple and straight forward process.
- Your story will be rewarded through VOICESHARE tokens, which will be sent to your Bitshares Wallet.
Conduction Support Sessions for Depression Sufferers
Session are conducted to people suffering depression and these sessions are conducted by people who have learnt Psychology, Motivational Speakers or Depression Survivors themselves. Once you are ready to take part in the session you respond through the google form link to confirm your participation.
Each Story Published will have a unique code with it, the story owner (Person to whom story belongs to) should save the unique ID for all further communications with us. Once his story is published he may use the google forms again to confirm his participation in that week's support session scheduled on Saturday at 10:00 PM IST every week.
Google Forms Link To Confirm Your Participation
These support session happen on Discord Voice Hangouts, the story teller may enter the Discord Voice Hangout with his user name as his Post Unique ID to meet the panel of people who would like to share his story and fight depression along with him.

Yes, don't hesitate to stop by on our discord channel!
Thank you. I will trying to share . Start thinking now :D
@minknsa - Thank you, do join us on discord server as well... we would love to see you write your story and tell it to the world
hmmm.. May I ask why not just write it here?
and then use voiceshares as a tag
not everyone is on discord
@englishtchrivy - People under depression or panic attack refuse to get noticed... they will be facing the fear of being judged or bullied... hence we come out with stories through central account.. so that privacy of story owner is maintained... which is our utmost responsibility...
as far is discord is concerned, it is the place where people can meet the support system real time and talk with them directly..... we have motivational speakers, depression survivors and people who have learnt psychology to help the one in need.. so discord can be more realistic way of implementing our goals
Our aim is to not just write a story but to help people lead a healthy life again
I see
so you'll feature them in those stories - anonymously
Exactly, secrecy of story teller is of utmost importance in this project...
Thank you @voiceshares. What you are doing is amazing! One problem I am having is the fact that I resteem a lot of posts like this one so my followers can read. However, they have problems seeing my own posts. I was told not to resteem so much but to me this does not compute. This is my way of supporting those who support me. Heck, I can't even find my own posts. Is there a link that shows all of my original work that I can link to my posts? This in one area that really frustrates me. Any solutions or suggestions would deeply be appreciated. Aloha and mahalo!
@thethreehugs- I guess you can write a weekly post about it, I am sure poepl will notice when it has to get its due credit.... :)
@voiceshares thank you for your input and I agree, everything I write is meant for someone and it will eventurally make tit's way to the intended recipients.

nice post
Transference is common to those people they are comfortable to talk to and expectations may arise creating emotions that when unreciprocated can cause further problems..or further depression. Please just be aware that this can happen, we don't know on what stage they are in their depression where instead they need professional help.
Most times though, they only need a sympathetic ear who listens.
@immarojas - You are right, we will make sure they get due attention to their issue.... N we have a team working on it... who are very eager to help ... :) Thanks a lot for getting involved
I am very grateful i have found you. this is such an important subject, and so difficult, thank you for bringing the subject of depression out in the open.
