mental health memes

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. 

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. 

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!
