Internet support groups only makes depression worse I've dealt with depression since I was a kid, and joined a bunch of suppport groups to try and help it. I thought at first would help me to read about people who are in simular situations, but it only made it worse. Depression became a part of my identity. I made friends with people solely because we where both depressed. It became a part of my life to the point that I was afraid to take care of myself and try to improve.

I didn't get better until I left these groups and cut these people out of my life.
