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!

These memes might not end world hunger or repair the burnt destruction of Notre Dame, but they might patch the holes in your cold heart for just a little while. So sit back, let the existential dread leave your body, and have a laugh for a change.
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.)
If you're tired of being upbeat and "on," take a damn break from it! We officially declare that it's okay to wallow every once in a while. Let the sadness and negativity flow through you - hopefully it'll stay away for a bit longer this time around.
People on Twitter are clearly sick and tired. With what? We don't know exactly, but we'd wager a bet that it has to do with the general state of the world and with being a Millennial. As it would follow, people are tweeting about doing totally absurd things "due to personal reasons," and we understand...sometimes that's all the reason you really need.
The world always seems to be diving into more and more chaos. Whether this is actually true or not is lost on us, but regardless, we understand if it all is starting to take a major toll on your mental health. It's easy to get caught up in the mindset that everything is spiraling out of control. We're here to remind you that everything will be okay in the end, but in the mean time, here are some relatable memes to get you through it all.
