If someone writes about their depression, are comments like this actually helpful? It just seems so formulaic..

@alsv_ I can only speak for myself, I have BPD, depression & anxiety, but yes.
For me, a huge part of mental illness is it telling me that I am the only one who has ever felt this way, everyone hates me, I are worthless, etc and when it gets to crisis point I have nothing left to reason with those thoughts on my own.
Certainly for me the most helpful thing is often "I hear you & I care" or some variation

@mrsteepot got ya, thanks for sharing. As long as it's helpful, it's hard to argue against it then.
