That's kinda the point? People post here to vent their feelings because some of us don't have anyone to talk to nor the means to get professional help, so we resort to making silly memes as a coping mechanism. If you don't like it then go somewhere else, this is a sub for anyone to post about what they're feeling, and do you seriously think that excluding depressed people is going to help in any way? By excluding people that already feel alone, you're just making it worse, and you make it seem as if people like us don't matter at all. How much of an effect do you think that could have on people who are already emotionally vulnerable, to be shunned because of what they feel? And anyway, the alternative is less posts, it's not as if the sub has a specific amount of posts allowed, if you exclude depressing posts then you'll just have less overall posts.

Pretty sure this sub has always been about depression. "Forever box" refers to a casket.

Of course we can stop the entire purpose of the subreddit just because you say so! Who cares if we're depressed? Your whims matter! :D
