Depression isn't funny, but sometimes when you live with it, you start to cultivate a dark sense of humor to get through it.
For anyone who can relate, we wanted to round up some of the best depression memes on the internet to (hopefully) bring a smile to your face — even if it's just for a moment.
While it's true memes can't “cure" depression (especially when it feels crushing), they can sometimes give you a small reprieve in the midst of your struggles.
If you're struggling today with depression and need help, try posting a Thought or Question on The Mighty to get support from people who “get it."
If your depression feels “crushing," these memes might make you laugh:
