Does frequenting /pol/ make you more depressed?

I have been depressed probably since the age of 10 but I feel lately it has been getting worse. Despite me having a decent job, my own flat and even some decent friends, I still feel like I am dead on the inside. I believe that going on /pol/ every day is preventing me from getting better. Being constantly exposed to topics such as:
>white race is dying out
>women are degenerates and are destroying civilization
>muslims taking over the west without even trying
>highly likely Clinton will win the presidency
>leftist propaganda getting more extreme every second
>people getting blown up and shot by slimes and dindus
>WWIII about to happen at any moment now
>Trudeau

I feel like thinking about these things on a daily basis is prolonging my depression and I feel like I need to take a break or just leave altogether. But at the same time I will feel so disconnected and alone without being here and talking to people that actually have a sense of how fucked up everything is, which I don't see in people I know in the outside world. Does anyone else here the same way? Any advice?

/pol/ killed me inside, but it's okay.

No, but I've started debating with normies

i'm alone now

/pol/ isn't preventing you from doing anything. You are here so much because you want to be here so much.

If you desired to accomplish things more than being on /pol/, you would be spending less time on /pol/.

Yes these thoughts are flowing in my mind behind the artificial surface conversations I'm forced to have at work and in public.

It's not /pol/ that ruined me, but truth and the fact that you can't un-know things.

>>81508331
Why would I. /pol/ is giving me hope that the western civilization is still redeemable

please explain how

You are taking this too seriously. Go take a break - find a new hobby for a bit.

Dude, you already have the answer, you just need to find a better community where there are people you like better.

/pol/ cured my depression by helping me to understand what is fucked up about our world and why it is fucked up that way. I am less anxious about the future because I know what to expect.

The idea that there is still resistance to the degenerated Godless Leftist establishments

/pol/ has shown me how insanely apathetic 99.9% of my friends and colleagues are about politics. In fact the only person who I have honest conversations with about this sort of shit is my red pilled mother.
>>
This place is a cesspool. It can be amusing, even informative at times, but it isn't to be taken 100% seriously all of the time.

As >>81509105 said, find a hobby outwith shitposting on here and come back with a fresh mind / eyes.

It is 90% shitposting, 8% actual racists, and 2% useful stuff.

>>81508331
Just enjoy your last days, none of this will matter soon enough
>WWIII about to happen at any moment now
Take it easy and laugh at libshits

>doesn't know /pol/ is satire

the world is doing fine and even if it weren't, you're powerless to change anything anyway.

Just stop giving a fuck

QUIT IT

Shitposting and actual "racists" are hardly mutually exclusive. All of /pol/ is "racist".

The truth will depress ye but then it shall enlight ye

4chin in general is a magnet for depressives, as such, given that the site is defined by user content, ut reflects that mindset. Relying on a place like 4chin to determine your understanding of the world would be rationally problematic as it presents a skewed version of reality perpetrated by the mildly mentally ill.
