John, the saying goes "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" I belive both sarcasm and humor (not jokes as some think) is the prerogative of only the intelligent. I have yet to come across anyone practicing either who isn't intelligent !!!

Phil, Thank you 😊, I can use more humor and sarcasm, some humor is needed everyday! Right-on 👍 Woohoo 🙌🙌🙌

Hi Phil, I can see where questions are the same for those that have been on this site for a while but being a newbie any encouraging words from others in my same boat is totally uplifting for me. I have been very depressed and I love coming here for answers but more than that, for acceptance, hope and especially humor! Your sense of humor is refreshing and I hope this post will inspire you to keep on helping others like myself. 💙

I love to write. There's not much else I can do and I often have to use humor to make it through a day without resorting to a pity party (which is always a party of one). Paraphrasing a passage in Psalms, "laughter does good like a medicine". I also believe that those of us who dwell on the disease itself leads to depression. It's a hole that can only be rescued from by at least a smile even when you can't laugh...but find a laugh every single day!
