With all the mental health issues coming up recently, I thought I'd link Depression Quest, a text simulation of what it's like to live with depression.
Trigger warning: Please read the introduction page thoroughly before clicking Start. If you are or have been depressed, continue at your own risk.
I found it very helpful, actually. It encouraged healthy activity like talking about your concerns with others, recognizing that some folks are not emotionally safe to talk to, and expanding one's social safety net. But I'm more anxious than depressed, so YMMV.
I've had experiences with both, and I wouldn't mind discussing specifics through PM.
