Hello Catlady
God bless you this day, and welcome to Christianity Oasis.
I'm glad The Lord led you here. Yes, we do have a Chat. If you look at the top of the screen (right below the big Christianity Oasis logo) you'll see 8 blue tabs across the screen -- the first one says Home, and the second one says Chat -- just click on the Chat Tab, and it will take you to the Chat area. Chat is open 24/7, however, there is more activity (more members present) during the evening hours.
I'm sorry to hear that you find yourself depressed. (((hugs))) I'm sending up prayers to our Lord in the name of Jesus on your behalf. May God's blessed will be done.
Catlady, I encourage you to read a 14 Day Study -- a Counseling Study -- that has helped hundreds of people (myself included). The Study is Holy Spirit inspired and it leans heavily on The Word of God. Most of us refer to the Study as the CCCC Study or the 14 Day Path Study. Here is the link:

God bless and keep you, Catlady.
In Christ Jesus' love,
Sister Mack
