If there’s anything that brings the internet together, its the combination of food and misery. Twitter user Donella (@dizzysinclair) recently struck a chord when she tweeted asking people to share their shittiest depression meals.

Something about this request really appealed to people, so much so that replies are still coming in days and many thousand retweets later.

Same. When I’m hungry but too depressed to find something to eat, I just sleep for 12 hours to see if it gets any better (it doesn’t).

While some users are confused by the fact that other people actually manage to eat at all when depressed.

Habit's an impressive thing.I think if my head were physically removed from my body it would still automatically prepare breakfast first thing in the morning.

Y’all eat when you’re depressed?
— Saint Frost (@TreyFlores_) July 16, 2019
Some were honestly pretty ingenious, maybe more of a struggle meal than a depression one.

Some of it is worryingly relatable.

Twitter user Sofia pointed out the line between depression meal and broke is pretty fine.

While a debate kicked off about the line between depression meals and veganism.

One thing this thread has taught us is that we are genuinely concerned for the lot of you, are y’all OK?
