39 Hilariously Accurate Memes About Mental Health, As Shared By This Instagram Page
Whether you love or loathe social media and memes, you can’t deny that they can be very powerful. When used for good, they can raise awareness about important issues—like mental health, something that's relevant in all of our lives.
That’s where ‘How Mental’ comes in. It’s a charity, app, and social media project that touches on important mental health issues with the help of memes, webcomics, and witty videos. We’ve collected some of the top images from their Instagram account to remind everyone that self-care should always be a priority. Scroll down for some truly relatable memes.
We reached out to the founder and CEO of ‘How Mental,’ George Taktak, and he was happy to tell us all about the project, raising awareness about mental health, and what to do when someone’s struggling. You’ll find Bored Panda’s full interview with him below.

Not sure why you would think that. If anything, the "tough it out" and "keeping it all inside" type traits are more associated with men.

So yes. I DO blame you XD
God damn! If that’s true, you could probably get her arrested!
Load More Replies...My mom has always tried to have us be friends rather than mother-daughter. So sometimes I give her exactly that because I am so frudtrated: "I did not learn [something] at home and I am so annoyed about that now because if I had learned back when I was living at home my life would have been quite a bit easier now!" Or something along those lines. I am still extremely hurt that I never had the mom I needed when I grew up. But sometimes I'm just like well, if it's friend talk she wants I'll f-ing give it to her!
omg fr and literally anything that includes ppl - like walking into a room cuz of ✨social anxiety✨
yea, it usually take me months, once i was feeling anxious about cleaning my room and i procrastinated till the next year
at least you cleaned ur room 😭 mines still messy af like I can't find literally any motivation
Load More Replies...so fing real like after I send a message I always have to say "sorry btw if that sounded mean I didn't mean it to" or when ppl use grammar I always think they're mad at me like broo
Hmmm, I dunno, I'll check. Not working? Maybe I just need some more. Still not working? I probably just need more chocolate. etc. etc.
Load More Replies...I wondered why a meme article on BP could be at -2 score (that's what it's at as I am writing this comment.) Now I know. Yikes. A lot of these are of the "you should be GRATEFUL for BEING ALIVE/what you DO have" variety and that's... literally the kind of stuff my mom has said to me since childhood, which is the kind of attitude that, you guessed it, contributed to my suicidal ideation and other mental health issues XD
I'm actually, honestly confused by your comment, because to me most of these sound quite dark-humour-ish and not at all like "be grateful for what you have"? Except maybe two or three (especially the on that's last right now) I don't understand why you feel that way. Have the posts changed since you commented? Would you let me know which ones you find worst? I am honestly interested in understanding your perspective!
Load More Replies...I'm guessing the entries shifted since it's at -3 but these are actually pretty good and seem unrelated to older comments
