Finding this subreddit has felt like a breath of fresh air

I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety/depression and just seeing other people’s outlook on life and the happiness and joy they can experience has made me realise I can too.

Thankyou so much everyone

Welcome to /r/happy where we support people in their endeavours! This is a place of positivity, if you can't think of anything good to say then don't say anything at all.

If you want to give tips/suggestions, make them constructive from the start and be supportive (even if you don't feel it's "enough"), if you don't know how to do that then don't give them.

We celebrate the good things in life and the change people strive for in /r/happy. If you find this post offensive or this community ridiculous, you're welcome to not hang around.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

It's funny, I shared a post from here in a discord server I ran and someone was like "Huh, there are positive subreddits?" 😄 It's a good place for sure.

Great post! And I love it here too! Sometimes I get so bummed/depressed reading things on Reddit. It's nice to have some positive things to read.

My favourite one, I always come here when my depression gets a bit much, it’s a little light in the world
