If you suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder then you'll almost certainly be able to relate to these memes. Always remember that you're certainly not alone in your struggle, but if you find that your constant worrying is affecting your quality of life, then we'd urge you to seek out professional help.
Check out eBaum's World for a roundup of relatable depression memes.
Aren't you glad that we live in an age where going to therapy isn't something to be ashamed of anymore? In fact, we'll go out on a limb and say that most people could get some sort of benefit from seeing a therapist, even if you feel you're "normal." What the hell does "normal" mean, anyway?
One thing that pretty much all of us Millennials can come together over is our deteriorating mental health. The planet is dying, our parents ruined the economy, and none of us will ever be able to retire. It's no wonder that many of us have to see therapists. The good that's come out of that, however, is that we've managed to de-stigmatize therapy - there's certainly something to be said for that!
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!
It's pretty common knowledge that you can't receive help unless you really, really want it. So paying a ton of money for a therapist CAN be a total waste of money if you're not going into it with a receptive and, uh, productive mindset. These tweets represent everyone who is not quite ready to deal with their demons. Everyone who hides behind netspeak and dumb humor, when maybe, just maybe, they should be actually trying to get help. But damn, this sh*t is funny.
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.)
We're really loving these ridiculous cursed memes that sarcastically poke fun at one's biggest fears. It all started with a Redditor posting a pic of "Skull Cow" - a creepy-looking cow with what appears to be a skull on its forehead. The meme has since branched out to include other types of ridiculous-looking cows and other generally absurd images that make up the stuff of nightmares.
It's World Mental Health Day, which means we're bringing you some memes that'll resonate with those who suffer from any form of mental illness. Obviously, looking at memes isn't a solution to your problems, but being able to laugh about them can certainly be a form of therapy.
And of course, we gotta remind you to reach out to someone if you're really struggling - it can and does get better!
