We as humans need to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally. Therapy can help our emotional well-being a great deal, and many of us know that. In fact, statistics show that about 30% of Americans have seen a therapist at least once in their lives.

Sometimes, some internet humor can help us as well. That's what pages like My Therapist Says are for. Some mental health-related jokes, memes, and funny quips to deal with your own imminent mental breakdown are always handy.

To find out more about laughing through your anxieties and other mental health problems, Bored Panda reached out to Nicole Arzt, therapist, author, founder of Soul of Therapy LLC, and the face behind Psychotherapy Memes. Check out our conversation with her below about destigmatizing mental health issues one meme at a time!

    As of 2024, the My Therapist Says Instagram page has over eight million followers. What started off as a group chat between four girlfriends has evolved into a supportive community with many laughs and even advice. The founders of the page, Nicole Argiris and sisters Lola, Gina, and Nora Tash, even wrote a book: "My Therapist Says: Advice You Should Probably (Not) Follow."

    The girls describe their page as a place to share "original memes about struggles with anxiety, growing up in the social media generation, and figuring your life out in general." The core message they want to share with the world is that "No matter who you are, dealing with all the tribulations of life, you're never alone and never as 'crazy' as you think."

    About 20 years ago. Whole county got snowed in without warning hence I did not bring my work laptop home and I just happened to do my weekly shopping the day before. Whole week in pyjamas with zero duties and all the comfort. Lockdowns were different, still good but family, pets and house to take care of did not allow for a single pyjama day.

    The four friends, who all grew up in Toronto, Canada, have been in therapy for many years. In their group chat, they often would share advice with each other, starting with the phrase, "Well, my therapist said..." That's what inspired the name of the Instagram page.

    "Our therapist, of course, said no such thing, but we thought that it legitimized the advice to the point where we would have to take it," Lola Tash said in an interview with The Daily Mail in 2020. "It was always with the best intentions that we were giving each other advice."

    No. I enjoy mindless repetitive tasks. I can turn off my brain for a little while and focus on something that's easy and productive. I like washing dishes, folding laundry, raking leaves, cutting grass, mopping, dusting, etc. My job requires me to think, and being a single parent can be stressful, so I find these tasks to be meditative.

    The girls say their goal is to destigmatize mental health, "finding the humor in the mistakes their mental health journeys have led them on." And many experts agree that the more we talk about how we're not okay, the less stigma there is around it. Therapist and author Nicole Arzt echoes that sentiment, saying that even sharing memes can be a great way to open up about your struggles.

    I always say "living the dream, just not mine". I'm sure it's someone's sad, terrible, f*cked up dream.

    "Mental health issues are often wrapped in shame," Arzt told Bored Panda. "That shame often says, 'I'm alone in this. Nobody else understands. Something is deeply wrong with me.' While memes don't exactly 'fix' that real pain, they can provide a sense of shared camaraderie. There's such a powerful validation in just knowing you're not alone and that your struggles are not solely yours."

    I did that earlier this year and almost missed my flight. Day 1: Missed an international flight due to serious fatality accident shutting down the freeway for hours. Much time on phone with airline reps got me rescheduled for next day and nearly $1500 in extra fees waived. But with warning of don't miss next flight / can't do this twice. Day 2: I am at airport hours early, get my boarding pass and wait several hours at the gate. Close to flight time, still no agents at the desk. Found out they moved the flight to a different gate but didn't bother posting that at the first gate. Other gate close by - ran to it - made flight just in time.

    In Portland, OR, I get on the plane and I have seat #65 or some such number. Anyway, I'm walking down the aisle of the plane and I get to the last row of seats and it's #50. There is no seat #65. They've got me on the wrong plane. Are you kidding me? I appear calm but inside I'm flipping out. Instant panic sets in, as well as a severe case of dry mouth. As politely as I could without having the benefit of speech (the dry mouth made that impossible) pushed my way out of the plane and the agent directs me to the correct gate and plane. Fortunately I made my flight and proceeded to drink a couple of cocktails, which I had to pay for. I was thinking a free buzz was the least they could do considering I almost ended up in Iowa when in reality I was headed for San Diego.

    My wife insisted we get her to GRR no more than an hour prior to her flight. "Fine", just about an hour on the dot. Maybe 10 minutes earlier than that, on a Saturday. Hung around the airport awaiting a missed flight call as TSA was insanely long. She made it, just. "Now do you understand why I want to get there 2 hrs prior?".."shutup"

    There's a reason the airports are public about what time they want you to arrive. It varies by airport but each one knows how long it generally takes to get people through their checking / screening system. A local airport literally only has two gates and two TSA checkpoints (and expansion from when they used to have only one). Getting to boarding is fairly quick. Seattle a lot more. I assume some airports in New York or wherever are absolute zoos.

Fix makeup and HAVE to go out because you cannot miss this hospital/physiotherapy hospital appointment. If you do, you won't get another one for around three months... Pull your Big Girl Pants on, Strap your rucksack and calipers on. Get the F**K On With It......... Tell yourself - You can have your breakdown when you get back home. Faced worse, been through worse.

    So, this is going to sound morbid as f**k, but in 14 years we have discussed true crime and forensic shows several times over the years at work. When you're bored you will talk about random s**t to past the time. Even if you're not into TC, EVERYONE loved to talk about Forensic shows, because it involves blood and other body fluids, which is something that is part of our jobs. Between all of the (LabRats) our nickname, have pretty much identified mistakes and how to plan the perfect Murder. Whether it's Pre-planned or spontaneous, we've figured out body disposal as well as destroying physical and forensic evidence. So my whole life has been around everything ranging from Food Service, Hospitality, Science Geeks, Law Enforcement, Healthcare, Military, Biker Clubs, Gangs, D**g Dealers, Farmers, Rural and Country Life, which means you pick up a TON knowledge about the most random s**t. At this point I think I can commit the perfect Murder and get away with it.

"That connection matters, it's so important. It doesn't take away the pain. It just shifts some of the energy around in a way where the pain may not feel so isolating or debilitating."

    There is a running joke in my house. I ordered close to 20 t-shirts while in the ER on morphine waiting to have my appendix removed. Now any time I take anything that might have side effects I get, "no t-shirts!".

    Depending on my weird as f**k shifts that I always worked it was: Morning 5:00 am-1:30 pm (8:00 am-11:30 pm), Afternoon 3:30 pm- 12:00 am ( 6 pm-9:30pm), Overnight 10:00 pm- 6:30 am ( 12:00 am- 4:00 am), so I think you can tell and understand why it was hard as hell to schedule things and friends and family couldn't seem to understand.

    That’s cute you think she has laundry. I bet her tour/performance rider includes specific undergarments, hosiery, towels, linens and she wears them once, never seeing them again. Her outfits are probably managed by a stylist and her causal “on the ranch” or “at the beach estate” wear consists of a handful of favorite pieces of which she has duplicates and they’re also dry cleaned. Her housekeeping people have laundry. 🤣😆

    I'm not a TS fan but there are 3 things that I respect about her: #1 She writes her own songs and is involved in the recording.#2 In order to prep for her tour she would run on a treadmill and sing all 44-46 songs in her set list. #3 TS concert tickets may be insane, but she actually puts in the effort to put on a good show and doing that many songs each night for 2-4 nights straight at each stop takes a toll on your throat. Depending on the number of stops at each city, that is anywhere from 92-184 songs back to back dancing the entire time. So, yeah I have to give her props at least where that is concerned.

    True, some songs might not take too long to record but there is a lot more than just the recording that goes into making a song. For example, writing the lyrics and the music or beats/sounds to then recording and editing, ect.

    I grew up in the 60's and 70's. I heard my first TS song just a couple of months ago. Not my style of music and after seeing a short YT clip, I think she goes way overboard on the theatrics, bells and whistles at her live shows. Music should stand on it's own. Having expressed that unnecessary opinion, I give her much respect for publicly backing Harris in the presidential race for 3 reasons: first, it took some brass ones to do so without knowing if it would damage her career. Second - All the little "Swifties" (is that what they call themselves?) place great power in what she has to say and she's got millions of them. This will inspire them to get out and vote. And lastly, It has pissed Trump off so bad, she now lives rent free in his twisted, self obsessed mind and he's crumbling right before our very eyes. This makes me very happy.

It's dark when you go to work and dark when you drive home. And that's the day shift. But, it also stays light out longer in the summer. Doesn't get dark until around 10:00pm.

    I'm in the USA, and Christmas stuff is already in stores. In September. I remember a time when you wouldn't see Christmas merch until after Halloween.

    In teacher's college, a teacher asked about my opinion on speed dating. I said it's sad and pathetic. He told me I didn't really think that, I just wanted to use a new word: pathetic. Guess what, I did think that and he was pathetic.

    From what I understand, dairy cows enjoy being milked.

    But then they either kill you for meat or breed you constantly and then take your babies away to get your milk. I think it would be better to be a spoiled house cat.

    You've milked the joke for all it's worth and creamed the competition, putting me on the horns of a dilemma. So I'll just hoof it out of here with my tail between my legs. I know which side my bread is buttered on.

    Plus you can take very messy poops and you don't even have to wipe. Cows on springtime grass are a real treat. Okay in the fields, less fun when they do it in the milking parlor.

    Nothing like a whack from a poopy tail while milking.

    I don’t know, cows can get some horrendous gas that a vet has to stab a hole into the stomach to let out.

    At my friend's ranch, they loaded the cows on a truck. The cows thought they were going on a field trip. Dumb cows!

    You know how some people call the bathroom the "John"? I named mine "Jim." That way, I can tell people that the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is "go to the Jim," and I'm not lying.

    Trust me, your best friend is definitely judging you, but they love you too much to admit if.
