depression memes

2020 has not been a good year for people who already suffer from depression and anxiety. Imagine feeling worried and alone your whole life and then a literal plague hits. Not cool. Others might be experiencing dark feelings and moods swings for the first time because of the state of the world, and we totally get it. We've got a big bunch of painfully relatable memes and tweets about living with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and general misery. If you've ever been stuck in a dark, mental rut, then these memes will surely resonate with you.

If you're feeling like your mental health has declined over the last year, you're not alone. 2020 really made for the magnification of depression and anxiety, and definitely brought out the afflictions in people who had previously been keeping it together. The collective trauma of this period is not something to be downplayed, but there is something to be said for laughing through the pain and relating to one another via the Internet. These memes, which may leave some people feelingpersonally attacked, are just one way to make light of and connect over our shitty shitty brains and circumstances. Here's to keepin' on keepin' it together. 

We've all been through those angsty teen phases where fluctuations in hormones bring out the cringe in us. When I was 14, my worst display of teen angst was probably hiding in the bathroom during class to write poetry about being misunderstood. These days, the internet makes it much easier to embarrass ourselves by instantly oversharing and posting deep memes about the ills of society. But honestly, we're pretty into the 'deep' pseudo-philosophical cringe. Give us all the profound joker image macros and 'we live in a society' platitudes, because we think they're freakin' hilarious. 

We've got some great examples of cringey deep posts that were shared in earnest and self-reflexive memes that satirize the angsty teen voice.

Life isn't always butterflies and rainbows. Sometimes it's sh*t and even more sh*t. If you're the sort of dark soul who is at peace with their deep-rooted pessimism and angst, then these tongue-in-cheek depression memes might hit the spot. Maybe it's toxic of us, but sometimes we like to lean into the gloom with the help of dark humor and painfully relatable memes. 

In the mood for a little variety? A little...weirdness mixed in with the usual memes? Well, you're in luck! This eclectic gallery has it all: tantalizing tweets, cursed images, and extremely specific memes about feeling depressed and music. You may not like all of 'em, but we're willing to bet you'll appreciate a few of these gems. And there's only one way to find out...

Forcing that fake smile everyday can get old real quick, especially when you feel the the big sad creeping up on you. It's totally normal to feel like crap once in a while, and when we're deep in the void, sometimes those inspirational image macros with platitudes about positivity and self-love just make us feel worse. That's when we turn to morbid memes. If you're in a terrible mood and feel like embracing the darkness within, we've got just the content. These memes definitely won't fix your problems, but at least they won't undermine your pain. 

Do you ever feel so crappy that the misery seems to transcend into a sort of dark humor? Sometimes when life becomes so cosmically sh*tty, it feels as if the universe is just trolling you. In those moments, we can't help but laugh back at the universe. Yeah, everything is terrible, but guess what? We can still meme our way through this hellscape called 'life', and no one can take that away from us. 

Not much in life is certain. But at least memes are always here for us in times both good and bad. And they really come through when the boredom hits. See for yourself.

If you're feeling the feelings and you don't know what to do about it, step away from the big sad and into the warm embrace of some relatable memes. Sure, memes won't solve all your problems, but they might remind you that you're not alone. Because guess what? People make memes. And the people who made these memes must have been pretty dang sad. We all experience pain, that's what makes us human! And we all deserve to cozy up to some funny memes and ignore all the bullsh*t once in a while. 

If you ever find yourself in an emotional rut, tired all day even though you wake up at 3pm at the earliest, hungover not from partying, but from dehydration, or restarting a show on Netflix you've already watched five times, then these memes are for you. We've put together some painfully relatable depression memes for those who feel dead inside but can still somehow muster up enough humor to chuckle dryly at some funny content. Sad souls deserve a good laugh too, and sometimes wholesome, feel-good memes just don't hit the same. 

Happy day, friends and followers. We're back with another massive batch of memes for people who like their entertainment to be on the weirder side. From morbid humor, to twisted and bleak self-deprecation, we're willing to bet these memes are a touch weirder than you're used to seeing. And we're all about breaking from the norm.

Sometimes one of those really bad days comes along and pulls you so deep into crippling misery that even just a hint of shallow positivity makes you feel even worse. When we're in this kind of rut, we turn to bleakly relatable memes about how much life sucks. Sure, maybe these negative memes don't make us feel any better, but they sure validate our attitude toward this dismal existence. If you're in the mood to lean into the despair with memes full of dark jokes, this is the collection for you. 

If you're a human being with thoughts and emotions, you might enjoy this dump of relatable memes and pictures about the daily grind we like to call life. We dare you to try scrolling through this list without thinking, 'so true.'

Every time we open our phones or turn on the television there are constant reminders of how absolutely terribly the world is doing. While dark and edgy history memes aren't going to solve the climate crisis or find a vaccine for coronavirus, they're a pretty decent reminder that the planet has gone through sh*t and bounced back for the better. We're just hoping that happens to us sooner rather than later. Happy scrolling!

We hope you had a leisurely long weekend despite all the stress that comes with living through a global pandemic. The holiday is over and now it's time to employ those little coping mechanisms that help us tolerate this living hell. For us that means lots and lots of memes. We've got a decent batch here to jumpstart the week with some light chuckles.
