If you continuously post I’m lonely, I’m depressed yet don’t make an effort to seek help. Does that mean some people like to dwell on being sad?

As some one who has been suicidally depressed in the past and posting about my plight on these sites I did so because it helped me to vent myself, and it was helpful to hear things along the lines of “stock with it”, or “I’m sorry to hear that you’re so depressed”. With time I have stopped, but it doesn’t mean I feel Ilan better about myself. I’m antidepressants now so I don’t feel depressed as often.
