anxious

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!

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. 

"So, why do you want this job?" Can we talk about how unbelievably stupid that question is? Why do you think I want this job, Lauren in HR? Because most of us have to pay the bills in order to live! If only we could all just be honest with each other at job interviews and leave behind all the BS!

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!

We love these trending "heart rate" memes for their relatability. We all experience anxiety at least occasionally - some of us more so than others. If you're someone who deals with it often, then you know that feeling when it's about to strike: your temperature rises and you start to sweat, and your heart rate goes from zero to sixty - these memes showcase these feelings pretty well!

It's World Mental Health Day, which means we're bringing you some memes that'll resonate with those who suffer from any form of mental illness. Obviously, looking at memes isn't a solution to your problems, but being able to laugh about them can certainly be a form of therapy.

And of course, we gotta remind you to reach out to someone if you're really struggling - it can and does get better!

Mental health issues are obviously no joke, but sometimes we can use humor as a coping mechanism. Just remember that you're not alone in your struggles and these memes might make you feel temporarily better! 

Of course, if you're dealing with thoughts of suicide, please call the Suicide Hotline.
