wisdom

According to our timelines, pretty much everyone is a medical expert or scientist these days. These "experts" throw around knowledge that is factually untrue and sometimes even downright dangerous. And it's extremely satisfying when these wannabe Einsteins get schooled by actual professionals on social media. This gallery is full of that delicious dunking. We hope these numbskulls learned their lessons and maybe even starting cracking some actual books.

One of the greatest casualties of sub par healthcare is the accessibility of psychotherapy. Meaning, it's woefully inaccessible for most people. The copay is often exorbitant, even if your provider takes insurance, and it's practically a full time job looking for a quality therapist. The whole process makes fighting depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses seem nearly impossible. Twitter user @CarolineMoss seems to be very aware of this dilemma, and decided to create a twitter thread of "free therapy" using wisdom people have learned while talking it out with professionals. 

"If you go to therapy quote tweet this with the best thing you learned at therapy that way everyone else can get free therapy." 

That succinct sentence has already received over a thousand replies, and many of them offer up incredibly wise and heartfelt advice. We've put together some of the more "important" bits of guidance for you to scroll through - hopefully they grace you with the same healing effect it had on us. 

In these trying times, we could all use as much positivity as we can get. That's why we gathered up the following memes that contain words of wisdom - they helped us, and we think they can help you too.

Life's a b*tch and then you die. But in between it feels like we're all floundering, reaching towards those moments of triumph, love, or accomplishment that make this damn thing feel worthwhile. It's so easy to become overwhelmed, but we urge you not to give up. These positive affirmations and words of wisdom might help change your perspective. If that fails, these shitty life hacks will at least make your life more interesting.
