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.

If you've passed the age of 25, then you've almost certainly hit that inevitable quarter-life crisis where you start feeling like an old person. Suddenly you have to be in bed by 10 pm every night or else you'll feel like utter sh*t every morning, and going out seems like the most mundane chore in the world. It's rough, but unfortunately it's just a part of life, so own it!
When I was a kid I thought my peers with Barbie dolls were rich. And people with air conditioners. And I wasn't the only child with a unique idea of what indicated that someone had money. This thread from @cpoliticditto proves that most kids had their own special ideas of wealth:
"My wife grew up thinking that having water/ice dispensers IN THE FRIDGE DOOR was a life goal. I grew up thinking if you had a basketball hoop with a clear/plexiglass backboard, you were rich. What are some things you thought were indicators of wealth when you were a kid?"
The responses are a nice mix of amusing and depressing. While some kids thought that having an attic or a wide variety of cereal meant someone was privileged, other kids thought hot dog buns were a luxury. We've included some of our favorite responses, but there are tons more over at the thread.
Every damn day something about the world comes to light that reminds us what a terribly dystopian situation we're in. Tweets are constantly being posted that deal with everything from healthcare woes to the pitfalls of late-stage capitalism. It's difficult to keep our chins up when everything seems so damn bleak, but it's better to be informed than to live in a state of not-so-blissful ignorance. On the off chance that you want more of these upsetting tweets, you can find them over at r/BoringDystopia.
Being locked in your own home for months at a time can really f*ck with your mental health. It's not surprising then that many of us have been feeling more depressed than normal. If you're really going through it then there's no shame in seeking out a therapist. And just remember, this won't last forever! Check out some more mental health memes here!
There's been a lot of rage directed at landlords of late, and while they're not all bad, we're pretty sure most everyone has dealt with a rotten one. Twitter user @calebsaysthings rallied frustrated tenants with a relatably funny but annoying tweet about how ones tone changes when email an unresponsive landlord. Other users chimed in with their own landlord communication tactics, and even some seriously f*cked up anecdotes. We can't say we disagree with most of this stuff, but we do sympathize with the landlords who give it their all.
We all get a little down sometimes, and that's okay. What isn't okay, however, is when you find yourself feeling a little down for weeks or months at a time. At that point it's important to seek out help. We encourage it, but in the mean time we hope these memes can comfort you at least a little bit.
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.
We've been seeing a lot of wholesome content lately. It makes sense. When the world feels bleak, most people need a little positivity to remind them that even the pain is temporary. This post is not for these people. Reddit user u/mc_gnome took to r/AskReddit requesting people share some 'unfun facts' on the thread. The responses weren't just 'unfun,' they're actually mind-blowingly morbid and depressing. But some people, like us, enjoy learning of the cruelty of nature. And these posts are for you.
Portland comedian @jayshingle is the mastermind of the bizarre and eerily depressing "Ordinary People Memes" Instagram account. The memes pair incredibly banal text with photos of, well, very ordinary people - and the results range from amusingly relatable to slightly dark and lonely. We hesitate to refer to them as a commentary on the volume of inanely basic tweets and memes, but they're definitely a weird palate cleanser after scrolling through pandering low-effort content.
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.
In case you were in the mood for a little dark and depressing humor, you've come to the right place! In light of the Global Climate Strike happening today, we're bringing you some climate change-related memes that probably won't give you any hope for our dying planet! On that note, please enjoy the memes!
The internet is a sad, scary place that seems to be brimming with cringe. These cringey pics, however, are a special breed. These embarrassing posts are actually so cringeworthy and sad that they're guaranteed to make you feel more depressed than you already are. If you're into that sort of thing.
It seems that whatever higher power is watching over us certainly wants us all dead. In 2020 alone we've dealt with plague, UFOs, wildfires, murder hornets, and who the hell knows what's next. Does anything even matter anymore? We're starting to think the answer to that is no. So here are 23 memes about the fact that life literally has no meaning.
Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sad and sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS. Most of these tearjerker images are comics about losing someone special, usually a dog. For some reason the concept of losing an animal is really all it takes to bring on our high-pressure waterworks. So make sure you're sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.
