Imagine...
Your mind is swallowed in darkness, covered in a misty haze with no hope for light. You walk with one step in front of the other, breathe automatically but the zest to live is diminishing.
You do not feel love, happiness, sadness just the emptiness which is not a feeling in itself.
Well-wishers tell you to
Just shake it off
as if you could. As if you mind is an on/off switch rather than a mass of complex networks that you cannot fathom.
Whether you're suffering from trauma or a chemical imbalance, you're caught in the web of depression.
Things continue, days pass and your mind sees things but doesn't register. you continue to work mechanically, getting up each morning, hesitating in bed, but going through the motions.
Then one day you see a meme, a piece of dark humor that a fellow suffering human has put up and a wry smile lights up your face.
That darkness is supplanted by a teeny tiny ray of light. It isn't laugh out loud humor but sarcastic, sad, slice of life humor.
Then you finally develop an interest in something again, and one day you find yourself laughing. That musical sound which had gone into hibernation. Its vibrations healing the mind like nothing other can. You start making inappropriate memes which will revoke your female card. Like this:
You say to yourself "I will not go to that place again. I will laugh at the inanity, insanity and banality of human existence. Laugh at my follies, my shortcomings, at weak jokes that dad makes, at mom's cryptic messages."
I will get addicted to this dope-amine.
All memes are made by me on imgflip.

I don't know if I'll ever not get annoyed by those damn token responses and vote ads. Some of their messages are the size of the planet. I've worn out entire mouse scroll wheels just trying to find conversations hidden inside somewhere. Just kidding. It only bothers me a little bit. I don't need to talk to the manager. Thanks for the pizza. Now to figure out what it does.
Ask not, and ye shall recieve. xx

I needed a laugh (always do) - thank you :)
Cheers for the nomination! I wouldn't have known about the contest otherwise 😁
Laughter is the best way out of those dark places. It can be hard to remember how... And then you are at a parade and see a live cow on a parade float throwing bars of cheese at children instead of candy.... and it all clicks back into perspective! !PIZZA

You are most welcome! it actually happened on Saturday. My daughter was at least as excited about the cheese as she was about the candy. I thought well... why not... isn't it equally absurd that they throw candy on the ground for kids to pick up and eat? Why not cheese? or !PIZZA

I absolutely love this! You really made me smile. I'm suffering under the weight of depression at the moment and the thought of being poor and using laughter as medicine really made me smile. Thankyou, from the bottom of my sad heart! xxx

I have a great way of dealing with people who tell me to "just shake it off" when I'm down. I simply punch them in the face. Makes me feel better immediately.
hahaha I should try that
@diebicth My mental health is over here rolling haha!
Happy to help
True,laughter can help us to cure depression
