Life gets whack, and that's okay. Sometimes it gets so whack that we straight up can't handle everything coming our way. Even though we need to get something done, we may just not be in it mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Much like napping, breakdowns are part of the human experience, and you just gotta embrace it. The people of Twitter have been super open about their mental breakdowns this week, and naturally, we documented the best 'mental breakdown' tweets. Check 'em out below. 

People are seeking more mental health treatment today than ever before. For all the good and the bad that this implies, therapists are more in demand than ever, which inevitably means, there will be more supply. But more doesn't necessarily mean better, and not all therapists are created equal. For every good mental health professional out there, there are ten awful ones. It's like having to kiss a million frogs before finding your prince—it's kinda draining. People on Reddit shared the worst things that a therapist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional ever said to them, and the responses are so bad, they make you wonder how these professionals ever got their license in the first place.

Whether you like it or not, there is proper texting etiquette. You don't need to use periods or capital letters, nothing fancy like that.

If you're going to meet up with someone, it's not enough to stalk their socials beforehand and make sure they're kind of normal, you need to think long-term. Is this 5"7 stud with an aggressive calf tattoo worth potentially infecting my entire social circle? It's a tough one.

On the bright side, you don't have to feel bad at all for not getting any action this past year. You can say, "I'm just taking this virus very seriously," and that is totally valid. Even after this all passes I may even tell people, "In preparation of the next global pandemic, I am purposefully remaining single until further notice." Yeah, you're all welcome.

Have you ever been having a bad day and a small act of kindness from a stranger has lifted your mood right up? It could be something as small as a smile, but often when a stranger goes out of their way to help us, it restores our faith in humanity and reminds us that there are so many good people out there. These wholesome images show how small acts of kindness can be the difference between a good and a bad day; it never hurts to be kind!

You know the feeling, explaining your situation to one customer service rep only to be transferred to another and repeat the entire cycle until you die. Or feel like dying. Amazon user Andrew decided to share his experience on Imgur:
