Humor to cope

I try to use being funny as a coping mechanism for my mental illnesses and I feel like this is a solid space to share some of my favorite jokes. Please feel free to tell me if you have any jokes like it or if I could make a joke better. These are a few of my favorites I have more on the way if I can get around to it.

There’s something I carry with me at all times in my person I don’t wanna brag about but it’s… depression. Suffering from depression is awful because it means feeling sad for no reason… but then remembering why. Luckily there are certain types of weather that are better than others. The rain is nice because it reminds me why I got into the sad game. It is also great going up to an optimist in the rain and getting uncomfortably close and saying “you’re in my world now”, which is followed by them walking briskly away because a strange kid just approached them and freaked them out.
