Do you think some people put themselves down constantly on here because they’re just looking for attention and sympathy from people?

Perhaps they’re just looking for a little validation and acceptance. Depression and anxiety tend to be very isolating and harmful to one’s self esteem. Seeking out others who understand and/or help you see that those ugly things your brain is telling you aren’t really true is a very real coping mechanism. And a primarily anonymous forum like this is a mostly safe place to seek that support.
@ProdigalSummer yes it is. A little validation is a good thing.
@VeronicaJane it can make all the difference for someone who is struggling
@ProdigalSummer it helps to know you are not alone.
