Some have made peace with the abyss and cope in different ways. Traditionally this would be known as radical acceptance: this is just with a twist of humor as one would salt a radish. Acceptance hurts and adding the helpful layer of funny it makes those internal truths easier to bear.

Giving weight or taboo to these things simply make it a shameful subject for which people can be judged. This format is without that bias as to plainly relate to the internal depressive diatribe it itself is mocking.
