When a friend feels depressed, pessimistic, or numb, you can help support them without words – with support memes.

The Internet provides a treasure trove of wholesome memes to lift a friend’s spirits (even if it’s just a little chuckle). Sometimes their circumstances can’t change, so a little distraction would be nice. That might be true for your friend – or even for you.

When you can barely enjoy life, wholesome memes swoop in to lighten things up!

And if you’re just looking for someone to listen, find an understanding chat room here, 24/7.

Others want to help you feel safe and loved, so you can grow! Wholesome memes do reflect reality – even if it’s the parts of the world we don’t see as often.

Sounds a little like venting here…

Treating others as you’d like to be? Instant karma.

Finally, what if these support memes for friends aren’t enough?

Supporting your friends is so important, even if it’s just with memes to cheer them up. However, it can be hard for some people to open up to their friends, or those who know them in real life. If that’s the case, you may choose to share a safe, anonymous tool for them to use: the anonymous peer support chats at Supportiv.

No trolls, no bots, just support for whatever you’re going through (when wholesome memes alone don’t do the trick).

Chat with people who know how it feels, here.
