How to deal with sadness

Let’s face it, not all parents love their children. Abusive, bad parents exist. They messed up not only with our childhood but also our adulthood. Like a lower back pain after your 30s, the pain never truly goes away but you can keep the pain at minimal, tolerable level.

This is my way of dealing it, reading memes, lots and lots of it and it worked

Memes are funny and relatable. Although childhood trauma memes are sometimes a little dark, for people who’ve been through worse, it’s plain comedy.

I find it somehow therapeutic because when you can start laughing/ smiling at your own trauma and knowing that someone out there truly understands you, it feels less painful.

I am sure this doesn’t work for everyone but it worked for me. I tried meditating, breathing exercises，think positive etc and it didn’t work as well. So if you are like me who has a darker sense of humor, try it!
