Social Bookmarking Soulmate: /r/mentalhealth/

/r/mentalhealth is a unique space on reddit that allows users to discuss and share both personal stories and information/research about mental health. Users in this subreddit are active fairly often. However, it definitely isn't a big subreddit, so in order to find good posts you need to filter through a lot of the less popular materials. While the everyday poster tends to lean more towards asking for personal advice, by clicking the "top" categorization tab you can find many valuable discussions, topics, and resources on mental health. While this subreddit does not necessarily discuss mental health on college campuses specifically, it still covers a wide range of topics that are relevant and valuable to my blog.  

Interestingly enough, a majority of the top posts were actually images that visually or graphically represented a certain struggle of someone with mental illness, ranging from social media commentary to comics about depression. 

Below here I've shared some two posts I thought were particularly powerful and were popular on the subreddit. One is just an image (the first) and the second links to a blog post about "The Spectacle of Mental Illness". Links are below the images.
