Well not wanting to offend anyone, but I was actually asking for advice of where to get one, not to be criticised for wanting to wear one or to raise awareness by it.

Are you new to the internet?

Yeah we don't actually give advice, we just criticise....... Ugly.

No I'm not new to the internet.
Your opinion or criticism on something thats my own personal choice aint wanted here so sling it and go abuse someone else.

There's no point looking on eBay, as the money you're paying won't be going directly to charity, though maybe indirectly.

Maybe look in charity shops or e-mail the charity. If you can't find one, suggest that the charity make one.

I would imagine that those in the UK who haven't heard of depression will more than likely be living in a cave somewhere, whom wouldn't be able to see your funky cool wrist band anyway.

There are better ways of contributing to mental health than wearing a super-cool wristband.

This.

Fact is, wristbands don't do anything.

An ex of mine sent me five orange wristbands of some kind, the rubbery sort, to symbolise something along these lines. I'll go have a look later, see what the web address on them was.

No idea about the dark green ones though :/

It's a nice sentiment and it's great that people want to speak up about depression but I'd much rather give more focus to the mental illnesses that are still relatively unknown/misunderstood - personality disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders that aren't anorexia etc etc
