Even though we might not realize it, we use certain coping mechanisms to help us deal with daily stress and uncomfortable situations. With social media becoming a prominent part of our day-to-day, we have found new ways to do that, and researchers have noticed that online content, like memes, is helping us through the rougher patches of life with humor. 

And it seems to be working, as mental health meme pages are gaining more and more interest. One of them is called “Dont.happy.lol” and has already amassed more than 31k followers by posting images with text that allow viewers to laugh at their problems in a comic relief kind of way.

I hate to tell people this anecdote as our society evolves, because my parents never beat me; spanks were mostly symbolic. But I learned that by making my mother laugh, I could avoid getting spanked. Those skills prevented me from ever getting beat up in school. I'm now appearing at the Pyongyang Improv alternate Fridays.

    "O wait... so how many of my personalities have you met? Josephine didn't tell me about meeting you."

    Even better news is that these mental health memes seem to be therapist-approved. “I love mental health memes,” said therapist Greta MacMillan in a Simple Practice Monarch article. “I follow so many accounts.” She even shares these memes with her clients because she believes that it’s a great way to get important information out there. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Clients may also leave therapy sessions uncertain of how to act upon the advice they’ve received during it, as there’s quite a lot of detailed information shared. MacMillan reckons that therapy memes can help make complicated topics easier for people to digest.

    Similar thoughts arise when I see a sign in a shop saying "just ask one of our friendly staff!". Like where do they keep the unfriendly ones? I eventually found out the answer was "out the back in the loading bay area near the dumpster, smoking and making nasty remarks aimed at passers by".

    Very accurate! I have suicidal thoughts quite often. Not because I want to die, but because I'm tired of feeling the way I do. Just complete sadness, anxiety, and feeling worthless and alone. I know if I tell a doctor or therapist how i truly feel. They will probably force me into a mental health facility. So I walk a fine line when it comes to getting the help I really need and not being seen as crazy and wanting to take my own life and being admitted to a hospital. I don't think we talk about this enough. It sucks!

    People often think that if you tell your therapist a lot of heavy stuff, they're gonna keep you there against your will. But this rarely ever happens, it only happens if they really think you're likely to end your life or hurt others. In the vast majority of cases, talking about suicidal thoughts doesn't get you involuntarily locked up. And talking about hearing voices really doesn't get you involuntary treatment, therapists say most people who hear voices don't even need to be treated for it at all. You only need treatment for it if the voices tell you things like harming people or yourself, or if you're very distressed about hearing the voices, but in other cases it's actually not considered a problem that needs treatment. Seriously, most people with mental health issues don't have to worry about ever getting involuntary treatment.

    MacMillan thinks that it would’ve been helpful to be able to go online and instantly connect with people who share such tough experiences. Now it has become possible to meet people by interacting with mental health memes, as the pages that post them have morphed into a kind of support group.

    My mom said that they’d keep my sister if they could deal with her talking because she was a pleasant kid and super friendly, but me they’d bring back because I’d immediately start crying forever. Ironically she said this because when I was a baby, she left me in the car for a few minutes and someone stole the car to try to get the radio out. I immediately started crying because I was super colicky at the time and wouldn’t stop, so by the time my mom and bystanders were calling the police they got another call 2 blocks down that the car had been abandoned and the baby inside was okay, just crying her lungs out. Thanks colic I guess!

    I recently read that there are people that do not have an inner voice, inner dialogue, no images flitting through their mind, just quiet. I told my fiance about it and then had to explain to him what I was talking about. Turns out, he doesn't have all that either! He said he thought when I say that I couldn't sleep because my mind wouldn't shut up, was just a goofy saying. I have never before been so jealous of a group of people until finding out that fact.

    However, she further warns that some darker meme accounts can become unhelpful as they step into self-deprecation territory. “When we get into the realm of self-deprecation, that's where the laughs stop for me,” she explains.

    but seriously, what's up with that sign?

    Something she finds additionally alarming is when people send memes to notify people that they aren’t doing their best. “I saw one meme that said something like ‘The number of mental health memes I share is inversely correlated with the quality of my mental health,''' she explains. “For some people, sharing mental health memes can be a low-key way of signaling that they're not doing well and that they could use a friend.”

    Even though it might be difficult to reach for help when a person is in pain, Angley doesn’t recommend using memes to communicate with friends or relatives when they are struggling.

    As online discussion can exclude some nuances of certain situations, MacMillan emphasizes that it’s important to be cautious and not accept all social media meme posts and comments as truth. “Not everyone who interacts with a mental health meme may truly understand or respect the experience it's depicting,” she notes.

    However, ultimately, she concludes that the benefits of mental health memes outweigh the negatives.

    In my state, lawmakers were mad that it was legal so they made it felony animal cruelty. The contradiction is kind of comical. Touch an animal's bits because it is your job (vet, AI breeder etc) and the animal is just fine. But if you ENJOY touching their bits then the animal is suffering felony level abuse. I'm not advocating for zoophilia. I'm just amused at the weird work around they used in the way they worded the law.

    All the farmers in the Netherlands can relate... no chickens outside because of bird flu, cows can't poop on the land because of nitrogen crises, and farmers shouldn't farm at all because the government needs the ground to build houses and simultaneously there is a need for more nature. That is why the government is laying out buyout scams.. I mean schemes...

    It often IS. As a personal example - I have an estranged relative who is very dysfunctional and has a lot of personal issues. I don't like that they shut me out or that they have made a mess of their life (and somewhat of their kids) due to poor choices they have made. But it is what it is and saying it is not does not change the truth.

    Seems unnecessarily judgmental. My wallpaper isn't a photo but I can think of multiple legit reasons that are not about narcissism. 1. Recognizing whose phone - like when a family has multiple cell phones of similar models. 2. Remembering a happy moment. 3. Reminding themselves to be a certain way. Like remembering to smile if they have resting B face.
