People talk a lot of smack on the internet, and when that happens on social media, then the rest of the world can be fortunate enough to be there to see the glory unfold. From devastating clapbacks to good-natured puns and every other type of delightfully witty reply, a Twitter account called Gems Of Replies is there to document it all - for our benefit.

You know that sensation so many of us get hours after a conversation or argument when we realize - “damn, I should’ve said [X] instead…”? Scrolling through this account is basically the opposite of that as you get to see every moment of glory where someone said exactly what needed to be said.

Aww, it's like a family cremation (please don't come after me, I just have a dark sense of humour - I don't even eat meat)

I will try this. But first I must secretly love my depression from afar, and then wait for the worst possible moment to tell it how I feel.

Help someone else. This usually works as it changes your focus from internal to external.

Well, in all seriousness: when I was deepest into depression (when I went to the uni) I started to get really into studying. I thought "well, this book doesn't care how I feel, the text is still the same". I also read different types of fictional stories. Kafka made me laugh, which was weird. Oh, and I saw ALL of tour de France that year. Not missing any of it. Because I was too physically exhausted from my depression to do anything but sitting on my couch. Oh, and my depression nearly got me killed a few times when I was walking in traffic so I just went outside as little as possible. But studying was a real great way for me to get out of depression.

I was afraid, I was petrified... Sorry, I was thinking about anxiety: depression's brother.

That's love it, OR leave it. Not love it AND leave it. The best way to fight depression? See a mental health professional for medication and counseling therapy.

Depends on why your depressed. Just being loved by those close to you is sometimes enough.

Sunlight coffee and fresh air exercise. If that doesnt work break out the shrooms. They work every time

Actually, as a VERY short term solution, according to the professor of my Abnormal Psychology class way back in 2005, the quickest way to alleviate symptoms of depression is by not sleeping, because the brain will increase the release and absorption of the assorted "happy" hormones/chemicals. However, as I stated, it is temporary, because fatigue will set in, and mess all that brain chemistry up.

My life was going pretty well. But then suddenly I got pushed through a tiny cave. It was cold and bright on the other side. That's the day all my problems started

I think it depends on the context. My native language is almost dead because people gave English too much priority. Now only villagers and old, established families can speak purely in our language, everyone else tries to talk in as much English as possible.
