anxiety

If you're going through a little depression spell, we just hope that these memes can help you feel a little bit more understood. They certainly won't cure what's ailing you though, so we encourage you to reach out to someone if you're feeling really low!

Y'all can take your wholesome memes and shove 'em. We're here to lean into our self-deprecating sense of humor and celebrate the memes that reflect just that. So bring on the small penis jokes and the virgin jokes. It's time to revel in our discontent. 

If you're currently struggling, or have ever struggled with a mental illness, then we just want to say that we're proud of you and we encourage you to keep going, because no matter how bad you're feeling, it does get better. And of course, always reach out to professional help if you need!

Happy Monday, y'all! We've put together this mildly amusing gallery of moderately fresh tweets to help you get though the longest day of the week. If these tweets don't help you numb the pain, please take care of yourself by scrolling through this big batch of memes. You deserve it. 

These memes are for the downtrodden and the depressed. The lonely and the anxious. They're also for people who are normally happy and bubbly, but are now feeling a case of the summertime sadness. We see you, and we hear you. And you're certainly not alone. 

Anyone who's ever had a job interview knows that the appointment can cause massive amounts of anxiety, profuse sweating, and above all, awkwardness. Whether you're gainfully employed or hunting for the perfect gig, these insane job interview memes might make you feel better about interviews past. When you're done with these, take a look at these work memes that you'll relate to once you get past the harsh interviewing process. Or, if you need to prepare for what is ahead in your near future, these all too real work memes all about the ups and downs and everything in between.

Meme: 

noun

plural noun: memes

1. an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
   • a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users

OR. 

Our favorite damn way to waste our time. 

It's pretty common knowledge that you can't receive help unless you really, really want it. So paying a ton of money for a therapist CAN be a total waste of money if you're not going into it with a receptive and, uh, productive mindset. These tweets represent everyone who is not quite ready to deal with their demons. Everyone who hides behind netspeak and dumb humor, when maybe, just maybe, they should be actually trying to get help. But damn, this sh*t is funny.

Need a little pick-me-up? We've got ya covered.

Anyone who's dealt with anxiety knows that it's kind of the worst. It can leave you feeling totally helpless and stressed out over the most ridiculous small things, and if you're extra unlucky, can end up consuming your entire life. Not to mention, it's super fun when your brain won't even tell you what exactly it's anxious about! 

We just hope that these memes will help to remind you that you aren't by any means alone in that struggle!

Everybody has bad days sometimes, some worse than others. If you're going through a tough time right now, it's important that you reach out and talk to someone, but first and foremost we can only hope that these relatable memes will at least help you feel a little more understood!

The internet, and especially memes, have done wonders for demystifying and destigmatizing mental health issues, especially depression. While many people see memes as a frivolous or purely comedic outlet, the truth is that they both clue people in to the true nature of the illness, and remind those who suffer that they're anything but alone. Here are some memes that do just that.
