I've honestly brought about creating a separate subreddit that is more focused on affirmation and lifting up, but it's tough bc people's struggles are super valid. But it makes it depressing for me to go to this subreddit, and I purposely don't follow it from my main account. The Facebook groups are also usually pretty rough. PWS could be having much more in-depth conversations about more complicated subjects, like disability frameworks or community building. But there's not really a carved out space for that anywhere. There's nothing wrong with those initial challenging conversations, but it's a little overwhelming and it would also help to have other spaces where posts like that, or venting posts, are encouraged to share places like here instead .
