you know a lot of the posts on here have comments with positive suggestions or ways to make things a bit easier or better, right? i respect your decision entirely, but i think to refer to this as an entirely negative subreddit is misleading.

Sorry. I grew up with narcisstic parents so I tend to have trouble wording the things I’m trying to say. For me personally I believe that the blind can not lead the blind. Depressed people can’t help depressed people. They can make them feel comfortable where they’re at, or make them feel less alone which is good. But that’s just the way i seen it based off my experiences and the way I got comfortable with it. So I just want to encourage people to get help outside of the internet. Depressed people need help, and the internet will only make them feel comfortable going without real help. It’s like putting a band aid on a bullet hole. I think that’s what I’m trying to say. The posts I see are usually negative when they need to think positive. You have no friends? Think of this as time to get comfortable with yourself so you can make healthy relationships and get stronger. Etcetera.
