mental health

Life gets pretty hectic sometimes, and how we feel internally definitely has an impact on how we look externally. So when sh*t hits the fan, our hair is likely to be out of whack along with it, in addition to our skin. Luckily, we can take control of our situation and implement an effective skin routine, which is what many people have been doing. With a skin routine, you might be having a mental breakdown on a weekly basis, but at least your skin will look silky smooth. Twitter seems to agree with this sentiment based on the hilarious skincare routine tweets below. 

Being an adult isn't easy, and sometimes mental breakdowns are inevitable. In recent years, we've become more open about talking about our mental health. The occasional mental breakdown doesn't mean you're psycho and unstable - it means you're human, and you just gotta keep fighting that good fight that we call life. According to Twitter, you can have a mental breakdown while still looking hot AF, and we all love that for you. Check out all the tweets celebrating mixing hot girl sh*t with mental health below. 

Life often gets challenging, so it would be great to know what other people in the world are doing to make it less complicated that it has to be (other than turning to drinking and partying, which are equally as great). Instead of heading to the bar to get advice from that stereotypical insightful bartender that seems to be in every movie, you can turn to Twitter instead for the best and funniest lifehacks. On this platform, people aren't shy when it comes to giving advice. By the time you finish this short list, you'll surely be ready to live your best life. 

Sometimes being an adult gets the best of us, and as much as we try to fight it, we break down. And that's completely okay. We're all human. None of us are perfect, and we shouldn't try to be either. Mental breakdowns are inevitable. If you need to take some time for yourself, you take that self-care, girl! Humor based on our pain is the best kinda medicine, and Twitterdefinitely knows it. Scroll down for the best mental breakdown tweets from this week. 

It's been more than a year since we have holed up in our homes, so it's no wonder that crippling social anxiety is at an all-time high. Socially awkward folk were already avoiding parties and general social gatherings before this, and evidently, it's only gotten worse. Of course, the internet is a safe space for those who want to air their grievances regarding their personal social anxiety struggles. The people of Twitter have taken to the platform to share what TF is going on in their anxiety-ridden heads, and the results are super relatable and hilarious. Scroll down for tweets that you'll definitely resonate with if you're a fellow hermit. 

We're all going through sh*t that we may not be able to handle on our own. Luckily, people are more open about sharing their mental health issues and are encouraged to go to therapy when they need it. Unfortunately, therapists happen to be hella expensive, as many of the other finer things in life are. So what are peasants who have mental health issues, but can't afford therapy meant to do? Turn to memes, of course! Scroll down for memes that will surely cure your mental health problems. 

We all live for the weekend, but there's something about Sundays that has us feeling some kinda way. Either we're making the most of the last day of the weekend or dreading the work that comes with the next day - there is no in-between. Twitter is obviously in the know about the intense, confusing feelings we all get on Sundays and take to the platform to tweet it out. Check out this week's best tweets about all the weird feelings that come with Sunday. 

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. 

The quarter-life crisis has become almost as notorious as the mid-life crisis. Once upon a time, you were hitting up wild nights out on the town, binge drinking, dancing your a** off, making out with some hot rando dude, stuffing your face with pizza, and going to class the next day like nothing happening. And then doing the whole thing again the night after. Alas, those nights are long gone.

Now you spend your days deciding what duvet best matches the color scheme of your wall, bragging about your air-fryer on Instagram, and wondering when exactly all your friends got hitched. That's right, bud. You've reached your quarter-life crisis! Isn't it wonderful? Twitter definitely seems to think so. Scroll down for hilarious tweets about hitting that quarter-life crisis. 

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.

They said therapy is good for the soul, but it also happens to inadvertently provide humor. Because let's be honest - there's nothing better than humor based on pain. Why else would comedians rely on their personal traumas for their material? Because everyone loves a funny-sad story, especially on Twitter. Ironically enough, therapy tweets are therapeutic themselves. Scroll down for the best tweets about therapy from this week. 

Society's attitude towards acknowledging mental health may have come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. The good news is that we are finally starting to take mental health more seriously, which means people are more likely to get the help they need, especially when it comes to therapy. The bad news is that toxic masculinity is still very much a thing, discouraging men from showing emotions, talking about their feelings, or seeking help. This isn't men's fault necessarily; it's more society at large who is to blame. But in the meantime, it doesn't mean we can't make fun of men for their emotional ineptness, and a trending meme has taken full advantage of that. People are completing a Tweet using the format "men will literally ___ instead of going to therapy," filling in the blank with all of the insane measures they've seen men go to to avoid acknowledging or expressing their feelings and emotions. They are using it to call out Donald Trump, make fun of male movie characters, and a whole lot more. Here are some of the funniest ones we've found. Men, it's time to take your mental health seriously!

We all know that getting enough sleep is crucial for living a productive life. We grow up being told to get eight hours of sleep so that we can have an effective and productive day ahead, but there is a lot more to it than that.

I know that I certainly don't get anywhere near enough sleep, but after reading this Twitter thread, things are changing as of tonight! Scroll down and educate yourselves on why sleep is so important.
