For sure being on here too much is most likely awful for your mental health, but I like getting something askew from the mainstream, even if it is just schizo nonsense. There are often topics I have no one in real life to talk to, so it's nice being able to come here and read other thoughts and communicate my own. In a perverse way, I feel this place has toughened me up mentally, in that there are no surprises outside of this place; I've already got the worst of people.
I've been browsing 4chan since 2006ish and although I'm certainly not the epitome of mental health, I would say I'm doing fairly well for myself. There are definitely times I would say I threw hours away, but I don't necessarily regret it considering I like where I am now.
