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.

    Yeah, don’t use /r/depression. Too negative. Which is unfortunate.

    /r/KindVoice or /r/InternetParents may be better for advice or support. I don’t know their state or activity since I haven’t used reddit anymore. I enjoyed commenting there before though. And I’d love similar communities here. But I doubt it’d be active with current size and user type.

    There’s a kind voice discord community. I don’t remember if it’s from the subreddit directly.

    The healthy gamer community may be the best fit. Discord community. The website looks like a sell, but it has tons of free videos and community. https://www.healthygamer.gg/

      Hey thanks! These are good suggestions. Focusing on the improvement part instead of depression part makes way more sense.
