It might be hard to believe when you’re in the pits of despair, but we all feel down occasionally. It doesn’t matter if something bad has happened, or our brain just feels like screwing us over, it’s never fun to realize that you could be sliding into depression. What we don’t talk about enough with sadness is how darn annoying it is; when it seems like everybody else has no problem being content, it’s hard not to rage at the fact that we feel crappy.

At the same time, sometimes we have to make the most of our low moments. Wallowing in self pity can be a necessary evil. It’s only fair, if we’re being made to feel like this. Memes are the perfect outlet for these kinds of moods, because they let us know that other people have tread the beaten tunnel track without a light at the end of it. They might not always be funny, but they sure are relatable.
