When I started looking for depression forums my idea was to meet people to chat, and do some friendship ideally.
Been 6 years since I started joining and using mental health forums, also I joined to every depresson group in Facebook, and so far havent meet many people willing to chat, and still dont have any online friend I care to chat.
Its been very dessapointing. I deal with loneliness, and the forums sometimes feel so lonely. Just read and reply topics isnt enough. In other forum I reply many topics but the people who make the topics doesnt reply back, and many times just abandone their topics, so now I dont care much to reply othe people's topics.
Personally I just look for people who want to chat in private message, but I post messages and dont get many replies, and then its hard to find people which match interests or way to think.
