I tried /r/suicidewatch on that other site, but even though I made it clear that I was looking for advice and encouragement, the only two replies I got were in agreement that it doesn’t get better. 😐 /r/depression is even worse by the look of it.

Does anyone know of any good websites, or is it the nature of all of them that they just turn into a crabs-in-the-bucket nightmare? I’m trying to get better but it also gets isolating pretending I’m not depressed all the time.

    idk any online communities but i have found that ex-depresso’s tend to be the best ppl to talk to. its likely that u talk with someone semi-regularly who has been thru depression. if u can identify those ppl, then i recommend them as the best source. ur gonna make it x

      Thank you <3 I do know people who fit the bill, but I’ve just bringing them down more than they’re able to help me. I guess I’ll just keep chugging for now.
