Some internet content is so relatable and hits so hard, it sometimes feels like it was personally crafted just for you and you alone. However, when you start talking about these memes aloud, you can come to a startling conclusion: a lot of other people feel the same way, and have plenty of shared experiences, whether they’re positive or negative. And some of them fight the very same mental health battles.
The popular ‘Memes to Discuss in Therapy’ Facebook page touches upon this memetic connection that we have. The page is dedicated to sharing memes—both funny and serious—that are often relatable to a painful degree. And, as the name of the page suggests, they touch on topics and struggles that you might want to consider discussing with your therapist if you have one.
Let us know which of these memes you relate with the most by giving them a big old upvote and leaving a comment. And remember, if you think that January feels as long as a year, you’re not alone.

Nearly 617k people follow the ‘Memes to Discuss in Therapy’ page on Facebook. What’s more, the project has 585.5k likes on the social media platform. In other words, it’s proof that the content is relatable, witty, and a lot of people feel that it’s worth their time.
The Facebook page describes its content as stuff that’s “found on the Internet that feels like a personal attack and should be discussed with my therapist.”
And speaking of therapy, there’s still quite a lot of stigma attached to the idea that someone’s reaching out to a professional for help.

It is proven that, especially among teens, these sites can absolutely affect a person's self-esteem. Instagram is a huge lie, with all the filters making people look like anime inspired mannequins. There a Reddit page that shows nothing but people who overuse filters and what they really look like. Sure gave me a laugh! Humans have pores, and waistlines bigger than a wasps, and small behinds. It isn't just advertising that gives us a warped view, we are doing to ourselves. Getting away from social media more often is key, I think, to gaining perspective.

It has to do with social comparisons and the exposure we got as we grew from preteens to adults. These are called Downward social comparisons.
Earlier, Bored Panda spoke about the stigma of seeking professional help with British psychotherapist Silva Neves. He pointed out that, in his opinion, the situation has been improving over time.
“I think it is getting better and there is less stigma seeing a therapist now. It depends on your location though, there are still some parts of the world where therapy is still a taboo. Some people think that seeing a therapist means that you're 'crazy,' but this is not actually what therapy is about," he explained.

I think they addressed this issue in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
"Therapy is a confidential and private space where you can get help from a professional with anything that bothers you, from your work problems, relationship issues, or other psychological problems such as post-trauma stress, depression, and anxiety," the therapist said.
"Those things are actually very common and many people struggle with these things, it doesn't mean they're ‘crazy.’ Seeing a therapist when you have emotional struggles should be as normal as seeing your doctor when you have a physical problem. But at the moment, our society hasn't normalized therapy yet. It is changing with famous people talking about the benefits of therapy such as Lady Gaga and Prince Harry,” the therapist told Bored Panda.

Well, I learned it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Therapist Silva said that some people who have deep-seated insecurities can lash out at others to make themselves feel better. However, with proper self-compassion and learning to accept themselves as they are, they can develop a new, healthier mindset.
“Insecurity can manifest either by making themselves invisible (If I'm not seen, nobody will notice my flaws) or the opposite, by what we call 'bragging': shouting at everybody about how wonderful they are. This is usually to try to persuade themselves that they are good enough,” he said.

"Another way to counter the 'I'm not enough' [mentality] is by pushing others down, sabotaging other people's success, or attacking people as a way to feel powerful so that they can control their inner pain of 'I'm not enough,’” he said.
“All of these strategies don't work because what they do is either internalizing or externalizing the belief 'I'm not enough' rather than changing it," Silva explained.

"Perhaps parents didn't praise children enough, or they paid more attention to the mistakes rather than the successes. As an adult now, people can give themselves a hug once in a while and tell themselves, gently: 'you're doing good,' 'well done,' 'congratulations.' Eventually, the brain will listen and slowly change the message 'I'm not enough' to 'I'm enough,'" he said that everyone can try to overcome their insecurities.
"Rather than shouting your praise at other people, it is about speaking to yourself in a loving way. When people are genuinely aware of their successes, they can become genuinely more confident without the need to impose their power onto others."

The guy was given his own home and 2 rental properties overseeing fisherman's wharf in San Francisco for a HS graduation gift.

Uh, yeah. If this is your normal experience, you need to figure out a way to get someone to advocate for you having something that dives deeper. If that isn't really possible, find something meaningful to do with your time (you could practice calligraphy while "taking notes" or try different organizational structures, including using multiple colors, or you could try taking notes in another language or you could write down what you already know as the lecture begins or you can learn to write in code or you can try taking notes in iambic pentameter or writing out psudo-code algorithms of the material in the lesson). Practice SOMETHING though because eventually you will get to something actually hard and if the thing you have been practicing is "looking like you are paying attention while just being bored" then it will Not Go Well. Speaking from both personal experience and things I have learned as a professional educator. (Ideally you could get into classes with little or no lecture).

100% correct. But only if being treated. Untreated it is panel 1 every day for 1460 days. If you last that long. Long term depression requires long term treatment because it is likely a chemical imbalance and not due to a life event such as a death or stress. Stop the stigma and start the healing. Many people suffer in silence with their depression, afraid to seek counsel or take medicine because of fear of judgment from others. Show love, not judgment. You could save a life.

Why is it tolerable for a 3-5 year old to have a meltdown in public, but when YOU do it, the people want you taken away?
Logan Shinall 3 years ago
My stance on things like this is that everyone has real problems. For a child, what might be 10% of your world could very easily be 90% of theirs. Someone at school doesn't like them? Sure, you might have dealt with that every day at work for the past 5-10 years, but that could be a painfully brand-new experience for a child. Just my opinion, but it's helped me empathize and sympathize with children and adults alike.

Oh, I do scream in public sometimes. Very nice. Very stress relieving. Very funny when people give you weird looks. I do recommend it. Yes, get over your fear of what others think of you and scream in public, go on and do a nice thing for yourself.

First group therapy session, introduce ourselves and our mental disorders. After the agoraphobic, the PTSD, the clinically depressed, I go. They all look at me with "so why are you here? You aren't *sick* like me." So I never went back. Decades later got into a bipolar drug study. Not everyone is seriously *sick*.

For the past 2 years (and counting😠. Vaccinations people. This is not a hill you want to die on) because of covid, I have had to do my appointments over the phone as my docs wife is high risk. The thing is, I have no idea how much he's writing down. That in and of itself is increasing my anxiety, which I don't know if he's writing that down, which makes me even more anxious..... "And the wheel goes round and round in the circle game🎵"
Frozengeckolover 3 years ago
Tell him to put his phone next to his note pad on speaker, so you can hear his scribbles 😋. Seriously, though, tell your therapist that you need some feedback while you are talking. Phonecalls are so impersonal. I hate doing any kind of appointment over the phone, because you can't tell if the other person is even paying attention. You aren't alone.

Nope. I was a hardheaded, independant child, but also very well behaved. I had no issues expressing my myself, but I always tried to do it in a considerate and respectful way. However, I never told my grandma that I didn't like her cornbread; it would have hurt her feelings, and it didn't kill me to eat it. I'd rather choke on dry cornbread, than make my grandma cry.

I feel this. On his last deployment, my husband went dark (no communication). He told me it might be a possibility, but he wasn't able to warn me right before it happened. I didn't hear from him for a couple of months. Is he dead? Who knows. Will the Army tell me if he's dead? Eventually, but they probably would have informed me in an email; which I would have ignored. I would have pretended everything was fine until I had to deal with it. P.s. He was fine.
