Me: My, what a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? ;)
Cheer Up From Depression

Hey, dummy! The joke is that someone is telling the person suffering from depression to simply "cheer up." That's dumb, right? Because depression isn't just sadness; it's a whole mood disorder. Telling someone with depression to cheer up is like telling someone with a broken leg to just walk it off. It's unhelpful and shows a lack of understanding, which is probably something you're very familiar with.
