I'm not the guy you're replying too so I don't know if this is his problem with it, but I find that my depression and mood gets worse when I go on /r/depression because none of the threads are really about overcoming depression, or working on depression, and doing things for your mental health. It has a lot of people who are venting in very non selfaware non productive way almost like a blog. There's probably good threads and it might not be everything, but when you're depressed it's hard to read stuff like for random example pulled from the top threads there right now "Sometimes I wish I was dead just so people would feel guilty." which literally only says. "I don't know why I bothered posting here, it will just get buried."

Or this one called "I am so unbelievably depressed."I have never felt this low before in my whole life. The pain is unbearable. I am alone in a city I don't want to be in, my girlfriend broke up with me, I don't know anyone, my roommates don't like me, and I work alone. Whenever I felt depressed before, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I really don't this time. I can't imagine my life getting better. Nobody likes me. I really don't want to do this anymore. Fucking help."

Maybe it can help the people making those threads who get some good support and advice but god damn I got sad writing this. I have reached a point where I am not giving into self-pity or loathing so it's just like talking to somebody from different worlds who is trying to make a desperate call for help. I don't like /r/anxiety and so many other boards off reddit for this too.

Sorry for the tl;dr but I just feel strongly about how there's no good place to talka bout mental health problems with other people.
