“Sometimes Laughter Really Is The Best Medicine”: 50 Hilariously Accurate Memes About Mental Health, As Shared By This Page
Isn't it awesome that we live in an age when going to therapy isn't as frowned upon as it was, for example, for Tony Soprano?
I'll go out on a limb and say that the internet culture has contributed to mental health awareness too.
There are countless online discussions where people not only share their struggles but also relate to each other, letting the other person know that their feelings are valid and offering suggestions on what they could do to make everything a little easier to bear.

'Therapy Memes Group' is a Facebook community that invites us to do just that. Let's try!

Garbage can on fire is about as precise as it can get describing myself 😊
But... but I made a list! See, it's a list with all the stuff I need/want to do today, and it's written in purple pen, which is my favorite pen to write in even though blue is my favorite color, but sometimes I tell people my favorite color is red or black, because those are the colors I wear the most, but I actually really like silver, but I don't think I have any silver clothes... wait, what was I talking about?

I use to be an extrovert. I taught public school for 25 years. Took early retirement to fight cancer. Now, I don't want to leave the house, don't want to deal with people. What happened to common kindness and goodness? Where went the days that you didn't think twice about helping your neighbor? Does it now cost to give of your time to your those less fortunate?

From religion to internet humor: How humanity copes with the suck of being humanity. ----- my theory after 10 years of therapy, in which I'm told "doing it that way so your abusers don't "win" isn't healthy". Well, I'm alive, I'm functional, and I'm not hurting myself or others, so what's wrong with me seeing it as "I win the war!" versus "ah, they were just lashing out".... Yeah. They were. And?Why must I understand their trauma, while they *caused mine*? .....
May you accept where you are, how you feel, whenever you choose. May each day offer you some instances of when you win the war.. on whatever battle you're taking up. May you give yourself the space and grace to Just BE.

It just makes me sad that so many people use humour and memes to cover up the fact that we are depressed, mentally ill, unable to get up most days, and simply just want to give up. Why is the world like this? I don't wanna give up, I really don't but sometimes I feel like I don't have a choice.
