The only thing worse than going through a bad time mentally is the reaction that many people have to a loved one when they are struggling. Annoyance, dismissal and the "have you tried yoga?" response are still common things that many have to deal with. While we may like to think we have progressed as a society when it comes to attitudes towards mental health, not everybody has got the memo, including those who struggle with maintaining it more than others.
Being depressed can give somebody a very low view of themselves, and it isn't an easy hole to dig out of. When the world (and your brain) seem to be working against you, sometimes the best thing you can do is give in to it for a little while. These memes might not be the most cheerful that are out there, but they act as a reminder that a lot of us have gone through similar things. There shouldn't be a stigma in admitting it!
