One major issue is that mental health problems are still considered taboo in many parts of the world. Even people living in developed countries sometimes still feel ashamed to ask for help when they’re struggling. And though the situation might be improving in parts of the world, it’s important to constantly bring the discussion about mental health into the spotlight. In any way possible. In this day and age that means even using memes!
The ‘Mental health memes’ Instagram page, @serotoninismydaddy, touches on sensitive issues in witty, relatable, and surprising ways. Remember, laughter is good for your health, so don’t feel bad if you start chuckling as you scroll down. And don’t forget to book a session with a therapist if you genuinely need one.

My teachers. are amazing. probably because i go to a special needs school. BUT STILL-
I'm feeling like a very fragile witch right now, so please handle with care
It's kinda hard to be consoled when you don't even know the reason for the mental breakdown
I was extremely disturbed by this I thought someone was stepping on that poor kids head...nope just silly kid being silly
ADHD meds are depressants, so I told a colleague to take them with antidepressants and let the two medicines fight it out. It turns out the colleague was right, they do work well together.
I feel like Link (the guy in the pic) is the perfect meme format to describe something you're not supposed to do, but you do it anyway.
HAHAHA! Grateful for this meme! I forgot to take my meds! But it's ok.. Only an hour late 👍
I had an eating disorder when I was young, and I still struggle with healthy eating habits. It's either too much eating or not at all. I managed to live on two sandwiches and a meal for about a year until I developed deficiencies (hair falling out, tired ALL the time, nails tearing and such). Eating disorders are a b***h. EDIT: a sandwich would be a little white-bread bun in this case, with only a thin slice of cheese.
People that go to therapy, does it get easier to share your stuff? I feel like I don't even know how I could say what's going on in my mind when even I don't know it lol
It's even better when you're the one telling the joke at your own expense! :DDDDDD (self-deprecation is my coping mechanism!)
I stopped counting how often this happens to me, even before a date.
I tried a few times when i was young,failed miserably. Gave up cause it was painful,i mean the process. I don't like pain i want to leave peacefully so yeah never attempt it anymore,just accepted the fact that i'm alive but not really alive ig.
Me being told off by my therapist because i did something bad and now she's yelling at me for it
Sayings it out loud, hearing yourself say these things, accepting that you're dealing with it and its impact on you finally - that's a LOT to process and deal with. Your breakdown was completely normal as you try to figure this out and your brain finally let's you fully accept, process, discuss, and work figure out a solution to it all as you work towards a better life for yourself. Proud of you! You made it through the hardest part. - talking about it for the first time.
FR THO only the snow never comes and it's cold and gray and miserable for 4 months
Sort of not on topic but I'd assume at least one person reading this article knows how to unscrew the blade from a pencil sharpener without using a screwdriver and i definitely don't and have been trying to figure it out for the past week. I'd love some help
Loads of people ask me why I haven't always been anxious and I say I have, but the eating disorder I'm now recovered from did a really good job of helping me cope.
In the movie, the very next moment the tank explodes! So don’t loose hope! 😘
I figured out early on w/ sons severe ADD that writing down each step made it easier for him to work on keep focused. We scheduled in 5 to 10 minute breaks every 30-45 minutes so he didn't get overwhelmed. If only his 5th grade teacher had followed the formula, maybe he wouldn't have ended up hating school. She constantly berated him in class for needing special attention at times, which made it worse. At almost 29,with a 20 month old boy & 6 month old girl, he still struggles to believe he is worrhy, smart, kind, a wonderful dad,everything because that b!tch hated special education students, believing that they took away from the "normal " kids. Words are powerful. Use them wisely. Once spoken, you can't take it back. Words can have a true impact on people (good & bad) and you never know the long term effects they can have. Better to walk away than hurt someone.
It challenges us to grow how wrecked our mental health is...
I stayed out of school a day longer than I had to recently cause I was sick and also generally not mentally okay and I was like really great for a few days but now here I am on backup insomnia meds completely exhausted and anxious
My therapist made me realize that I don't actually have no memories from before middle school, I have one memory from before middle school and it's of the single time anyone has ever stood up for me in my life :D never happened again but it was a great feeling
sometimes it’ll be delayed like i’ll get up and walk to my room and suddenly stop seeing and it’s weird lol
Around 2 years ago, this exact feeling/mental situation is what led me down the Adventure Pathway into the Forest of Fun Drug Experiments. Word to the wise: do NOT start experimenting with drugs in your late 30s. The only upside is that my brain finally shut up with all the bad thoughts :< (I've been clean for almost a year now!)
My friend was talking about how obsessed I am with plants and mentioned me skinning my knuckles cause I was really excited about them (I was running my hand over my knuckles really quickly to get the energy out) and my defense was that I only skinned one knuckle which was in hindsight a terrible defense
I don't replace my meals with anything i just neither eat nor drink like a pro
I never get used to it haha I always get lost in how normal and okay I feel in highs and then I'm not expecting it when s**t goes down
This post needs a trigger warning. Some of these are far too 'on the nose', although I understand lots of people use humour to cope (me included) and it opens a dialogue,I think some of these are a skosh too far.
Yeah, a lot of these are pretty disturbing and not funny in my opinion.
Load More Replies...@DavidPatterson, NO. That is very offensive to vegans, you carnivorous son of a hyena-faced blobfish
