This gallery is a gentle reminder for you that memes are not therapy. No, like seriously, go see a damn therapist IRL. Memes might make you laugh temporarily but they won't bring your dad back from the grocery store after he said he was just going out to get milk when you were seven.
And as a message to all the therapists out there: keep it up and remember that you're doing the lord's work!
Is life getting you down? Memes certainly won't cure what's plaguing your mind, but they can help you feel a little more understood and aware that you're certainly not the only one goin' through it all! We hope they'll cheer you up, even if just a little bit! Love, Memebase.
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!
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!
The internet, and especially memes, have done wonders for demystifying and destigmatizing mental health issues, especially depression. While many people see memes as a frivolous or purely comedic outlet, the truth is that they both clue people in to the true nature of the illness, and remind those who suffer that they're anything but alone. Here are some memes that do just that.
While depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental illness are anything but a joke, sometimes it helps us to laugh about our problems. There's also a great deal of comfort in the fact that there's an entire internet of people who feel the way we do. We're in this together - we might as well have a chuckle along the way.
Those Millennials can't stop killing industries! They're even killing the serotonin industry with their goddamn depression!
In all seriousness though, most of us will deal with a bout of depression at some point in our lives. It can be pretty tough, but at least these memes can remind you that you're definitely not alone! And of course, if you're really goin' through it, always seek out professional help if you're able!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, everybody! That means it's time for us to remind you that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. That being said, we urge you to seek out professional help if you're just not feeling like yourself, or if your mental health is negatively and consistently affecting your daily life. We believe in you!
In a move that's clearly a jab at the McDonald's Happy Meal, Burger King has recently launched "Real Meals" as a part of its #FeelYourWay campaign that aims to raise awareness for mental health issues for Mental Health Awareness Month.
Is this a smart move on their part? When it comes to marketing the brand, we thinks that's a definite yes. Will it actually lead to helping people who deal with mental illnesses? Who knows! We'd love to know what you think on that matter.
And seriously, we have to ask WHAT is going on with brands on social media these days? It seems like after the Wendy's Twitter account made its sassy mark on the world, every single brand wants to get in on that saucy social media action.
Why do psychologists have the most punny names? For real, Sigmund Freud? Asking to be made into a pun. Carl Jung? Yeah, we don't even have to explain that one to you. These memes will appeal to anyone who has either studied psychology or has experienced the mental health system for themselves. We promise these memes will make you feel Jung again. (Sorry.)
