50 Hilariously Relatable Memes To Prove You Are Not In This Alone (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
When our mental health takes a hit, we all cope in our own ways. Some lean on friends for support, others take time alone to recharge, and then there are those who find comfort in laughing off their troubles.
If humor is what helps you stay sane, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up some of the most hilariously relatable memes from the Instagram page How Mental—they might not replace therapy, but hopefully, they’ll bring a smile to your face.

Though it’s always good practice to take care of our mental health, there’s no better time than now to pay closer attention to how we’re feeling. Mid-December is here, Christmas is around the corner, and for many, this season is the opposite of merry and bright. In fact, 3 in 5 Americans report that the holidays negatively impact their mental wellbeing, and for those with mental illnesses, 64% say their conditions become even harder to manage.

To binge or not to binge, that is the question every day, about anything the least bit pleasurable.
Of course, the irony of struggling in moments meant to celebrate joy and togetherness isn’t lost on anyone. But that doesn’t make it any easier to escape the overwhelm—the endless social interactions, the frantic to-do lists, the chaos of crowded spaces, and the painful reminders of childhood trauma that often resurface at family gatherings.
Still, sometimes the simplest way to support our mental health during the holidays is to laugh at the absurdity of it all—even if that means enjoying a few memes. To understand what makes it so effective, Bored Panda spoke with Dr. Charlotte Russell, a clinical psychologist and founder of The Travel Psychologist blog.

It wasn’t my parents. It was early academic success. And then I went to a pretty prestigious university. I’m scared to try. (I did order the Lego police station from the modular building collection that will be here on the 26th… This was after my parents said they wouldn’t despite me not having children and them spending for my nephews’ presents on birthdays and Xmas every year… Sorry… My own stuff. I think I just had to get it out though.)
“Our lives are often serious, boring, and quite frankly, stressful,” explains Dr. Russell. “Humor can help lighten the mood as a response to this.”
“We may occasionally use funny memes and share them with colleagues or friends to pass the time or create a sense of connection in a difficult situation,” she adds. “This can be a helpful coping strategy when used in moderation.”

Only masochists like the night shift, work to sleep, sleep to work. The only upside is you end up saving a lot of money because you don't go anywhere to spend it. But afternoons(2 till 10) has to be the worst shift. You're just clock watching, you can't start anything because you can't finish anything and you don't want to do anything that will make you tired before you go to work anyway. It's just a waste of a week.

Actually random callers have tailed off somewhat now, as I was on the verge of writing some more code for my Raspberry Pi phone blocker that woul Google the caller and tell me whether or not to answer. It already answers international calls and numbers I've told it to block as a fax machine. :D

When I was in fourth grade (~10yo in U.S.) I had a teacher who wrote "see me" on my papers in school. Then I had to wait until she had time to sit down with me, whereupon she would interrogate me about why I answered the way I did. I'm in my 50s now and that s**t STILL don't fly. You want to talk to me, talk to me. Otherwise, keep that s**t to yourself.

Just so it's known, 1. the workweek used to be 12 hours a day the whole week for most workers. 2. the 40 hour work week was designed with the assumption that men had a wife at home to do all the house chores.(1920's) That is not the case today, if you work a 40 hour work week and do all the housework, you're doing the work of two people, not one

just a reminder that if you buy coffee every day for a year at an average price of $5, you spend $1825 dollars on coffee. cutting coffee out of your life or making your own if you need it can save you almost two thousand dollars. take the money saved from not buying coffee, invest in an index fund like the s&p 500(average interest 6.5% after inflation). adding $1825 every year with the equation for compound interest modified for the extra $1825 every year(n=1 since its annual so I removed n from the equation)(t is years) A=(1825+1825t)*(1+(0.065/1))^t after 10 years you would have $37,683 dollars, after 20, $135,043. The balance would cross 1 million after 41 years. The amount you would have spent on coffee over those 41 years is $74,825. Also, the 1 million is 1 million dollars in todays money, the annual rate of the s&p 500 is 10%, subtract 3.5% for average inflation which was already accounted for in my original equation.

Every time our brain recalls a memory it alter it a bit. So all of our cringe memories from our past that keep popping into our heads are really delusions that are far from reality.

Argh! Psychiatrists, to mom of a 2 yr old looking to restart her meds: "but you're not in school. These meds aren't for parenting you know." Like, which does he not understand the most - ADHD, or toddlers?
