If there’s one universal language that can speak to any emotion or situation, it’s the digital phenomenon we call the meme. These tightly-packaged chunks of information allow us to share a laugh, shed a tear, and generally feel less alone in this vast world. They are a great teacher of how life is never a black and white journey — but rather a bittersweet adventure that inspires the painfully spot-on and absurdly funny jokes we all appreciate.
Today, we’re diving deep into these internet tidbits that mess with our psyches and play with feelings on opposite spectrums. So allow us to introduce you to the 'Mad Sad Not Good' Instagram account. This social media project dedicated to "bringing you the saddest memes in town" is bound to crack a smile and leave you feeling pretty blue all at the same time.
Below, we wrapped up a collection of posts proving that sadness is a perfectly natural part of life that also deserves to be put in the spotlight. So continue scrolling to check them out, and don't miss the chat we had about sadness with clinical psychologist Joshua Klapow, Ph.D. Then be sure to upvote the memes you could easily relate to, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Without supervision. I want to hear truths. But that's what employee reviews are for, too.
it’s like how, yes, money cannot buy outright happiness, but boy does it sure relieve a lot of stress and anxiety.
When you went on vacation you were unavailable and unreachable. I'm in Edinburgh Brenda, I don't need to see the effing salad you had for lunch, thank you
I had a dream in which the government gave everyone an "Entertainment Cube" - basically a six-sided giant TV with free 24 hour entertainment, which was mandatory to own and use. Trying to damage it could get you arrested. Next day I told a friend about the dream and she said "Of course, in real life everyone would be falling over themselves to get an Entertainment Cube."
It's pretty astonishing just how adaptable us humans are. Up to a point, anyway.
Its actually looking nitrogen which isn't available in it's swampy soil
I've seen this post many times. Having worked in customer service (in the past) for many years, my guess is that the customer was, probably, the b***h yesterday and was in a better mood today, when she called back.
It was always a relief to know I wasn't the only one. Knowing that had a way of relieving the pressure.
No, because it was the early '80s and I looked fantastic in my white long-johns and tiger-emblazoned skin-tight cotton shirt that came to my knees. Topped off with safety pin earrings and a tow-truck chain and padlock around my waist. Honestly, this is the exact outfit I wore the day I met the man that would become my son's father. I wasn't a trendsetter, I was a trend killer, lol!
lol Two types of people: those who need to plan that far ahead and those who are incapable of planning beyond the next few days. I feel you, brother.
Sometimes I base my meals and snacking on the amount of dishes it will require.
Me yesterday: thinking 2003 was practically yesterday, then looking over at my teenage child who wasn't alive
That's f*****g amazing. I really hope it's true and not just a sad, but funny meme.
bruh this- i almost drowned in a wave pool this summer and f*cking apologized to the lifeguard when he had to jump in and get me out.. :l my cousins laughed once we had recovered from the shock
Have you ever tried to have breakfast in bed? It's cumbersome, awkward and you're constantly concerned about spilling food. Not to mention if someone wakes you up with breakfast in bed, like, can you hold that tray awkwardly while I go to the bathroom first?
What have a been paying my therapist for all these years?! Best ADHD advice I've ever found! :D
My first thoughts were: sad and true, but funny. Then I remembered the title of this list. 🤷
I just stop responding all together. If that doesnt work, I just walk away without a word. One time, the person went to my husband and started telling him the story and said, "I'll just tell you bc your wife just walked away" I felt bad for the hubby....kinda. (evil laugh)
As a kid I played sports and piano, and now as an adult I also struggle to find hobbies and talents I really enjoy.
