anxiety

If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, and you really can't be bothered to show it, if you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. The more depressing and self-deprecating the better.

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!

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!

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.

These days everyone's mental health has gone to absolute sh*t because as it turns out, being isolated for months at a time can really f*ck with your mental state! Who would've thought? Just remember, everything's gonna be okay and it won't be like this forever.

Whether you're feeling anxious and depressed about current events, or you're coping with mental illness or seasonal depression, it's very true that sometimes things can become overwhelming. And when things get overwhelming, it's important that you practice self-care. For some people, that means turning off the news, taking a long, hot bath, and knocking back the chamomile tea. For others, it's indulging in an irresponsible amount of alcohol. We prefer browsing darkly funny memes that address the depressing stuff we're going through. And we're serving up a big old batch of 'em.

If you're in the "Life's a bitch and then you die" camp, you're probably going to enjoy this gallery of memes. They're for the people who lean into their pessimism, and perhaps have a habit of calling it "realism." For the people who don't have the energy to pretend that everything's okay. For the people who accept the pain and use dark humor to cope. And most of all, these nuggets of moroseness are for the people who can't handle another wholesome or cutesy memes. 

We're all dealing with a lot of sh*t right now, some more than others. We can't act as your therapist, but we can bring you some relatable content. So while you try to find an actual licensed mental health professional, please take these memes as our offering to you during these trying times.

If you're struggling right now in these times of quarantine, just know that you're definitely not alone. Being isolated for months at a time can really take a toll on our mental health as it forces buried thoughts and emotions back up to the surface. We hope the following memes can help you feel a little more understood, and just remember: life will eventually go back to normal.

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.

We're huge proponents of leaning into ones' dark side - even when the world isn't quite as shitty as it is now. These memes offer up a healthy dose of misery, edge, and morbidity that will resonate with anyone who lets their negative energy shine. It's exhausting to pretend to be happy. Give yourselves a break. You deserve it.

These are incredibly strange times we're living in, and some of us are coping with being quarantined indefinitely better than others. This Twitter thread, written by Alexis Rockley, explains why you've been feeling rather off during this whole thing, but you just haven't been able to put your finger on why. We hope it'll shed a bit of insight into your own life. And always remember, it's important to be thankful for what you do have right now - trust us, it'll help.

Check out some mental health memes here.

While some people may be touting the benefits of positivity during this global crisis, we're more inclined to suggest you lean into the darkness. Going through it means actually having to feel -  that means you should be feeling the bad stuff just as much as the good stuff. And after all this is over, hopefully we'll laugh about the misery. Just like we chuckled at these dark yet relatable memes.

These memes aren't cheerful, but they're definitely a good reminder that you're not alone with the melancholy.
