sad memes

Some people watch sad movies when they need to have a good cry. Other people turn to depressing memes. These sad pictures and dark memes are for the latter group. We're here for you.

Some people recommend looking at happy and wholesome pictures when you're feeling depressed or dead inside. Frankly, a cat meme doesn't do it for us. We'd rather embrace the void than run away from it. These memes do exactly that.

Star Wars fans everywhere are mourning the loss of Peter Mayhew, who passed away in his Texas home on April 30th. Mayhew played the part of Chewbacca in the beloved franchise. In honor of his legacy, we've gathered up some memes, both funny and tear-jerking.

Caution: some of these are really going to tug at your heartstrings!

RIP, Chewie.

Ever feel absolutely filled with crushing self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness? Yeah, us too. These memes, while arguably depressing, are a reminder that you're not alone. Sometimes that's just what you need to pick yourself up and dust yourself off. 

Let's lean into the weekend with some dumb memes, funny tweets, and inane pics!

If you're tired of being upbeat and "on," take a damn break from it! We officially declare that it's okay to wallow every once in a while. Let the sadness and negativity flow through you - hopefully it'll stay away for a bit longer this time around.

Anti-vaxxer logic is pretty much non-existent, yet somehow their ranting and raving has become news - and threatened peoples lives, too. While these memes won't be able to take down their highly unscientific movement, they'll definitely spread a little bit of knowledge. 

We never thought a Mars rover could make us get a little teary-eyed, but here we are. It was announced that the well-loved robot Opportunity finally bit the dust on Wednesday after a remarkable almost-15-year run. The scrappy rover lost power during a dust storm last June, prompting NASA's decision to pull the plug on the entire mission. Interestingly, Oppy's twin Spirit passed away in a similar manner on the other side of the planet after a five-year run. 

To aid the grief process, the internet has been meme-ing Opportunity, and we're here for it.

Another batch of memes for the anime freaks - now with extra Goblin Slayer!

Y'all ready for seasonal depression to have its way with you? These depressing memes and tweets may be what you need to prepare for the onslaught of tears, self-loathing, and depression naps. We're here for you and there is nothing like a good meme in whatever context it may be. 

You're not alone. We're all allowed our depressed moments. The proof is in these memes.
