50 Memes That Might Hit A Little Too Close To Home, As Shared By “Freud Intensifies” Instagram
When the digital landscape is saturated with memes, some of them are bound to be painfully relatable. In fact, they can be so accurate, they might even transport you into the world of therapy where you get to poke fun at the not-so-bright moments of your life. As these light-hearted internet artifacts can speak to any emotion, they can even make you feel like lying on a Freud-esque leather couch yourself, quietly nodding to everything you see in agreement.
Therapy is a wonderful thing that everyone should consider trying out at least once in their lives, whether you're currently fighting your own mental health battles or not. But at the same time, it can also be quite funny. So to show you that humor is the best medicine and one of the best tools to cope with drama and trauma, we welcome you to a safe space to talk about hard things, otherwise known as the 'Freud Intensifies' Instagram account.
This social media project is dedicated to sharing absurdly funny and spot-on memes that might give you something to discuss for your next session. Or at least laugh about it together with your therapist. We've gathered some of the best pics from their feed, so continue scrolling, be sure to upvote the ones that make you feel seen, and share it with anyone who might need a bit of a boost! Then don't miss the chat we had about the stigma of therapy with clinical psychologist Joshua Klapow, Ph.D.

Hey, I once played a door in a school play. Yep, that’s absolutely correct, I ..was..a..door. My acting skills know no beginning.
I live with someone who will be shown proof I am right and then say " well, you can't always believe everything you read on the internet." Every time. He is a nightmare to live with. If I had a decent support system for me and my disabled son I would have been gone years ago.
I would even courteously agree with you, but then we would both be wrong
"Of course I'm not mad! If something's hard to do then it's not worth doing! You just put that guitar away in the closet with your karate outfit and your ham radio, and we'll go watch TV."
Something similar happened to me today, and I slept through my alarm and missed my therapy appointment.
Tattoo artists are actually amazingly good listeners. Last time I was at the local parlour one guy was getting some text put on his wrists, which turned out to be in his wife's handwriting - and she had recently died in a car accident (he had some recent injuries on his hands, so I suspect he was in the car with her). His tattooist was incredibly kind and caring toward him, and when the poor man started crying he hugged him. (Hell, I myself was there getting a memorial tattoo of my dead dog, and everyone working there was super nice about it and talked about their own pets).
I fully agree with this. done it twice. once because I wasn't getting proper therapy and it burned all manner of bridges, but it made me on a path to betterment. Then again, intentionally, because I was in therapy and I don't have a verbal filter anymore. it all sorta just... comes out.
Wait what, aristotle said this? I thought it was taylor swift lol (It's a line in Cardigan)
got that feeling 1 month before the pandemic hit - now i no longer work
I’m the popular friend in this situation lol. If it makes you feel any better, I only do this because otherwise my brain will just be like “You didn’t say anything to Yer man, he must dislike you now, you’re such a terrible friend” for the rest of the damn night. But that’s just me
Actually, I like people to lean on me. Two legs are better than one.
Comment or upvote if you managed to read EVERY one without skipping to the bottom.
And then you have those of us who've made friends in the past only to be stabbed in the back (including by family members) Once this happens a few times, you lose all desire to "just make friends", because the prospect of dealing with that pain again is too overwhelming.
I feel this list horribly mixes up different things, e.g. being an introvert (nothing that needs "fixing"), vs. serious mental health issues (needs help), vs. being anti-social, vs. lacking friends...
