I don't know why seeking a connection even with anonymous people online is necessarily bad. There are a lot of people who have struggled with depression, sometimes hearing from people dealing with the same struggles can help.

How many of these people are professionals? depression IS a mental illness, and must receive professional care, not random opinions by people who did not make a proper diagnosis of that person's condition. Finally listening to someone is different from advising him about how to get better. I'm all for listening but not for people playing therapists.
- DanBC 11y agoSeeking a connection is fine, but there are already people posting terrible advice - things that we know are not a treatment for depression as if they are a treatment for depression. It'd be a shame if OP read all the stuff about exercise and thought it was going to be a cure. We know exercise is no better than nothing at all as a treatment for depression.
