I threw some meat in the slow cooker, made pico de gallo and coleslaw, did the dishes, applied to my local department store, and I'm still sad af. But at least I did something, right? :/

I mean I went to the post office and made a point to not eat garbage food while lying in bed, instead eating much more healthy food in the reclining chair. Mine feels small lol

I'm laying down about to take a depression nap as I read this...

MORE HOOK MEMES!!! I DEMAND THEM!

You are the Pan!

I use "You're doing it Peter!" every so often. It usually gets silence or blank stares.

The world needs more Hook memes.

Bangarang! Fantastic job!

Wait for the good pitches!

I did two calls, cleaned the flat, did at least a little bit for my studies, did some sport and cooked. Wow, that sounds so amazing, now that I wrote it down! It felt like nothing because I wanted to do way more for my studies...

Does anyone just clean/dress nice purely out of sheer sadness?

I'm in the same boat, fam. We'll all get there eventually. Unemployment feels awful - like, I just finished uni, lost two jobs thanks to covid before I even started them, and it's been hard. I've never not worked, be it a decent job, or a little retail role to keep things ticking by, but now I haven't worked since...June? And it hurts. I fill out applications by the handful, and I've gotten close a few times. But never quite got it.

Best of luck. We all need it now. Keep your head up, keep your body in order, and find a small passion project/hobby to keep you distracted from it all, and you'll be back to the ol' grind soon enough!

Congrats ^{^}

BANGARANG! Rufio, Rufio, Rufiooooooooo

Bangarang!

I rearranged the whole kitchen and made pad thai

“One small step for human, a giant leap against depression.” - Me

Toot toot, well done. Really proud of you :)

Progress is progress!

Now it's time for a happy nap!

I really appreciate this meme and the movie it references.

I had my first therapy appointment today and start a SSRI next Tuesday. Small victories!

What job did you apply for OP? :)

Bangarang!

Me today minus the meme. I’ll just comment instead

Oh my gosh! this was me today!!! Super proud of you by the way! Keep going, you're awesome [:

Recently I cleaned my bedroom for the first time in over a year. I had dirty clothes everywhere and it was just so overwhelming. I just said one day, "I'll just clean a little bit" then I ended up cleaning the whole room. I felt like I'd climbed a mountain. It has stayed clean ever since.

RUFIO RUFIO RU-FI.....

Wait depression naps are a thing? I thought I was just tired.

Bangarang!

bangarang!

Bangarang! Good going mate :)

I can't relate, I laid in bed all day

Baaannngaaaraaannngggg

Bangarang

"What is he doing?"

"He's beginning to believe."

It’s a win for the internet that we get to share our up moments as well as the low ones and know we aren’t alone. Love all the understanding and encouragement. Back in the day, I’m sure many suffered with depression and never knew there were so many others feeling exactly. The. Same. Way. Cheers to all of you that try when you can, and gear up to try again when you don’t feel it’s possible at the moment. Revel in the happy times, but never beat yourself up on the low days...keep telling yourself it will get better, and have trust and faith in your self to make it happen.

I give you all of my cake day upvotes for this meme
Edit: Tomorrow, my cake day is tomorrow so you can have them then.

Today is the first day in months I’ve actually felt good too. Hang in there friend!

Well done! There is also evidence behind this way of treating depression, it’s called Behavioral Activation . Keep up all the solid work, it will get better!

Even if all you manage to do is get up before laying back down again that's still worth celebrating. Take your time.

3 out of 5 is a score I can live with. Thank you random internet meme maker person guy girl entity.

As someone who's been there real hard too... I'm proud of you. Accomplishments are relative. And we all agree, this is a big deal.

This is relatable. I should be happy, right. Right?

Fuck. I needed this.

I folded laundry and cooked dinner for my spouse amidst a shorter depression nap than usual. And I worked for a few hours on my Masters thesis. So today was a good day on my scale!

Can we do only Wholesome-Hook memes for a week? I’ve lost my marbles

You did good kid! Also, I was feeling a little down too and you reminded me that I need to be kinder to myself and not discount small steps.

Shout out to my LOST BOYSS AN OBJECT IN MOTION IS MORE APT TO STAY IN MOTION!!!

Keep being your best self 💚

Hey my guy/gurl! You might never see this, bit you got this! I know it's tough. I know it gets hard. But you can do it. Dory said it, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming". Small steps my dude.

Bro I literally JUST watched this movie

[deleted]

Getting shit done is the best tonic - better than that nap! Keep on moving comrade

You're doing it.. great job it will pay off

Ily

Damn, I just got up from a depression nap. We going down different roads here.

I work from home full time, so I’ve still been working. But this morning I took my first actual shower in over a week. I also put on clean clothes. Feeling way better, even if I’m still down and want to take a nap instead of work.

Im saving this to give you a free award later

Your stronger than me

Good job! You can do it!

We’re so proud of all of you!!

I just woke up from a depression nap and this makes me feel like I could've been so much more productive haha

Good job :)

Damn. I read this waking up from my depression nap.

I got up and gardened today. I wanted to sleep instead but I didn’t. I think it helped.

Then wake up the next day and think "my god, what have I got myself into" before falling back asleep and just letting all of it fall to shit.

Little steps are still steps. Even if it doesn't feel like it some days you are moving forward. Focus on the little stuff that is going well. If you haven't before try out "mindfulness" where you just focus on the moment and being present and feeling all of the things that are happening to you in that moment. It sounds weird but it's basically just meditation.

Getting started with mindfulness

The Texas Freeze has taught me “It could be worse” the harshest way possible, I’m trying to be a better person and be more patient all around.

Good stuff!! <3

Great Job! Proud of you ^w^

Thanks for reminding me that I have to apply for jobs or I don't get paid

“What’s your happy thought?”

“Taking a nap...on a giant pile of money made of drugs.”

Just finished watching that movie 30 seconds ago litterally

Holy cow I did this today! Instead of napping I cleaned my bathroom, made my bed, and finished doing my taxes. Not everything on my to do list but enough I feel better about

You made an anti depression meme with Robin Williams.

Thank you. TTuTT

Yesterday I clipped my nails, filed some things, cut my beard and took a good shower.

Proud of you bb

This is also like the most perfect meme in such a layered way

The food in the movie Hook had no reason to look THAT good

This is what it’s about, dude/dudette! Keep it up :)

Bangarang! Sometimes I find I can trick the syrupy call to sleep and worry by telling it I'll be with it in just a sec then knocking out as much as I can before it comes looking for me.

Good job. Keep it up.

I enjoyed my depression nap today

Ayyyyy you love to see it

Awesome job. Network network network.

Fuck yeah. You're doing amazing! What a good day! V proud of you.
