To binge or not to binge, that is the question every day, about anything the least bit pleasurable.
Though it’s always good practice to take care of our mental health, there’s no better time than now to pay closer attention to how we’re feeling. Mid-December is here, Christmas is around the corner, and for many, this season is the opposite of merry and bright. In fact, 3 in 5 Americans report that the holidays negatively impact their mental wellbeing, and for those with mental illnesses, 64% say their conditions become even harder to manage.
Of course, the irony of struggling in moments meant to celebrate joy and togetherness isn’t lost on anyone. But that doesn’t make it any easier to escape the overwhelm—the endless social interactions, the frantic to-do lists, the chaos of crowded spaces, and the painful reminders of childhood trauma that often resurface at family gatherings.
Still, sometimes the simplest way to support our mental health during the holidays is to laugh at the absurdity of it all—even if that means enjoying a few memes. To understand what makes it so effective, Bored Panda spoke with Dr. Charlotte Russell, a clinical psychologist and founder of The Travel Psychologist blog.
It wasn’t my parents. It was early academic success. And then I went to a pretty prestigious university. I’m scared to try. (I did order the Lego police station from the modular building collection that will be here on the 26th… This was after my parents said they wouldn’t despite me not having children and them spending for my nephews’ presents on birthdays and Xmas every year… Sorry… My own stuff. I think I just had to get it out though.)
“Our lives are often serious, boring, and quite frankly, stressful,” explains Dr. Russell. “Humor can help lighten the mood as a response to this.”
“We may occasionally use funny memes and share them with colleagues or friends to pass the time or create a sense of connection in a difficult situation,” she adds. “This can be a helpful coping strategy when used in moderation.”
Only masochists like the night shift, work to sleep, sleep to work. The only upside is you end up saving a lot of money because you don't go anywhere to spend it. But afternoons(2 till 10) has to be the worst shift. You're just clock watching, you can't start anything because you can't finish anything and you don't want to do anything that will make you tired before you go to work anyway. It's just a waste of a week.
Nah. An adult knows that sudden, unknown number is either marketing or a scam. If it's important, they'll leave a message.
As someone with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, I ponder this question every day
i am imagining Doom slayer drinking a glass of water and going for a nice walk
Just so it's known, 1. the workweek used to be 12 hours a day the whole week for most workers. 2. the 40 hour work week was designed with the assumption that men had a wife at home to do all the house chores.(1920's) That is not the case today, if you work a 40 hour work week and do all the housework, you're doing the work of two people, not one
Unless someone says to stop because wjat you're crying over is stupid 👁
That bedroom looks pretty tidy so yea just stay in there and avoid it all
Got a mild anxiety attack yesterday when I got a text from someone asking me if I still had a book they lent me and I was sure I had it (because why wouldn't I?) but I HAD to go to the other room to make sure, but I didn't want to get up because I was busy sinking into a pit of impending doom
When I bought fitted sheets with "deep pockets", I stopped having this issue.
My dad yelled at me all the time about this. My ADD and OCD was not diagnosed until I became an old lady.
I mean they literally said they would "stop at nothing". Oops, there's nothing right there. Time to stop.
Hey, five minutes is impressive. My record is more like 30 seconds.
