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.

As a sufferer of both depression and anxiety, I know it helps to know that you're not alone in the struggle. Talking to a therapist, friends, or loved ones helps, but we have to admit: memes are one of the best ways to know that what you're feeling is something other people relate to. So whether you're clinically down in the dumps or suffer from panic attacks - or both - these memes are for you.
