50 Silly Memes That Somehow Manage To Find The Humor In Having Anxiety

Bam! Truly spoken.

Retired therapist here. This is brilliant. If I was still working, I'd give this to all my clients.

Yes. It's exhausting.

I'm not anxious but this happens to me as well.

I face everything on my own and don't ask for help because I've constantly been let down by the people I thought I could rely on in the past.

I'm in this image and I don't like it /j

M.A.S.H. it is.

Yes.

I'm too tired to do the things that would make less tired. I'm too stressed to do the things that would make me less stressed. I'm too overwhelmed to do the things that would make me less overwhelmed. Wandering around muttering to myself mostly. So I got that going for myself.

This is a very good recommendation.

When you turn 70, things improve because you can no longer remember the stuff that makes you anxious.

I feel this.

Quite often actually

Well, you didnt need to attack me...

Again, this is my ADHD... Something Executive Dysfunction-y (🎶blame it on my ADD baby🎶).

My conductors have given up. I just do my best to make it background noise, with varying amounts of success.

My wife tries to say I'm drunk after 1 or 2 beers. No... I am just finally relaxed enough to open up.

Again, this is my ADHD... Something Executive Dysfunction-y (🎶blame it on my ADD baby🎶). EDIT: I'm not sure why this comment is here. I commented this on another entry, but it's here too. Sorry for the double if you see this elsewhere (but I found it funny actually, very on brand for me lol).

But we are sick . No different to any other ailment

And then, once there's nothing left, it keeps going, because your soul is an infinite well for your anxiety to continuously eat from, and every little bit that goes reduces your will to live until that's gone too

Any time my phone goes off, get that sinking feeling KNOWING that there is about to be some sort of fight or bad news.

My gut is literally aborting my gut 24/7.

I went through the Rolfing deep tissue body work massage therapy when I was 36. That is actually addressed in one of the sessions. When that jaw tension got released, I found myself expressing all sorts of repressed emotional baggage. It was quite a catharsis. The bodywork broke away a large percentage of my shyness as well as my bad self image.

My current mantra: it doesn't matter ( no matter what "it" is)

This is actually quite a healthy response.

Thank god for sleep!

Hell, a lot of people over 40 don't expect good things to happen ever again.

Absolutely.

Yes. Makes life so hard. I try so hard to function in society. Not succeeding.

Well, serotonin is produced in the gut.

Why am I being personally attached by a meme that's a WikiHow pic with text on it that was posted on Reddit and then on BP

And some of us want to heal, but can't find anything good to replace the bad with.

Yep, it sucks.

I've always felt awkwardly uncomfortable at my birthday gatherings. I feel everyone is just there out of obligation, not to celebrate me.

I very much feel this

Every time we recall a memory of a past event, our brain alters that memory a little. And our imagination embellishes that memory. So as we age our worst memories are generally very inaccurate, and mostly imagined fantasies.

I feel this picture.

The other 13 problems are all with Jay-Z due to his misogyny.

At least they're not as disgusted of you as they are of me... I spent years absolutely certain of the fact everyone hated me and only pretended to tolerate me. Only now am I slowly realising: why would they bother to pretend to be polite? They don't gain anything from it, so why make the effort? At least now I can ease up on the worrying, and instead feel really, really stupid for wasting those years of my life...

Thanks, brain.

Finally, an actual explanation for it

I relate to vampires because there's no point in me looking in a mirror either.

Modeled?

Allow me to slip into something more comfortable *Astral projects into your frontal lobe.*

Lmao. I can see this scene! Good ol' Blanche.

I'd be skinny as a rail, instead of practically spherical.

The horrors persist, yet so do I.

what I say: "I don't care what anybody thinks" what I do: *care what everybody thinks*

And of course, I'm only this judgmental to myself, while being perfectly understanding of other people's faults most of the time...

I'm alone in my room and feel the exact same, even though there's nothing to be anxious about, which is why I'm on BP

Me: *Eats an oreo* ...God I'm a piece of trash.

OMG, yes

I know someone who said something similar about their brain. They just got diagnosed with ADHD.

This is me.

I'm pretty good at the ol' Irish Goodbye.

The truth is that we hear so much it would take a lot to judge someone. I worked in an in-patient forensics psychiatric unit for a while and I promise you, you can't top anything I've heard or seen.

If running me over with a car isn't great with your schedule I can just jump off something high-

Always puzzles me what are they thinking about? What thoughts do non anxious people have?

That's what I told my husband when we first met....
