anxiety

These memes are for everyone who is miserable and not afraid to show it. For the downtrodden and depressed, the people who are somehow keeping it together for people other than themselves. The people who suffer through the trying routines and constant agony of existence. We see you. And you're not alone. These memes serve as proof.

It's been a year. It's been a nightmare of a year, and we've got a whole two months left of it. Between the pandemic, natural disasters, and the election, it's hard to imagine that things could get worse. But we've been unpleasantly surprised by less. We're just hoping that by the time this year is over, these brutally relatable 2020 memes will be a testament to the horrors we've overcome. Fingers crossed.

Many of us were struggling with mental health issues before the world was singed by the relentless flames of 2020. But now? Man, now shit's gotten even more bleak. Without being able to see friends, go the the gym, go to therapy in person - and with many of us without a job, things are feeling kind of impossible. We're here (and so are these memes) to remind you that you're not alone. This mix of affirming tweets and relatable memes might make you feel a bit more seen. Hang in there. Here's hoping there's a light at the end of this long ass tunnel

Ever take a step back from your life and wonder if you're just doing it wrong? It's easy to feel that way when you compare yourself to your parents. Many of us deal with these feelings, especially if we've surpassed the age at which our creators decided they were ready to bring life into this godforsaken world. A new Wojak comic meme completely excels at utilizing this theme, and the results are our favorite kind of self-deprecating humor. The meme basically compares what our parents were doing (making commitments, investing in the future) with what we're doing at that age. The punchline is that in 2020, we're doing shit that's way less mature. You know, making mistakes like eating pills of the ground or infantilizing ourselves with phrases like "I'm baby." While some of these memes hit home pretty hard, a couple of them are great reminders that progress is possible. It's also important to remembe that the world was a different place when our parents were our age. It's always better to focus on one's self and the possibilities we do have. 

Lockdown has made some of us depressed, while others have anxiety that's going through the roof. Everyone deals with things a little differently, and that's okay. We just want you to know that you're not alone, so we put together this gallery of highly relatable anxiety-related memes! Check out even more here!

Whoever said sleep is for the weak was wrong. Dead wrong. Sleep is precious. Especially when you have a hard time achieving it. Whether your insomnia is due to unreasonable caffeine intake or crippling anxiety, these memes about irregular sleep schedules will probably resonate with you.
