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.

    My mother: "I'm so sick of you blaming ME!" -- Mom, you literally used to beat me daily, told me I'd grow up to be a white-trash gutter-scum alcoholic junkie like my bio mother, told me I should be "grateful" you adopted me, and one pressed a gun to my throat when I was 6 and told me you'd kill me if my dad left on a business trip (as if I had any control over that.) So yes. I DO blame you XD

    Words I've actually spoken - "It's like you have a big bucket of sh|t strapped to your chest and you twist and turn constantly, but when anyone tries to help you shout "MINE!" and hang on for dear life."

    Learning to love yourself is like a quadratic equation because you have to solve multiple problems simultaneously while missing crucial information.

    Just because I can't believe it doesn't mean I don't want them to believe it.

    A whole 4 hours?! Steady sleep? Not all broken up in small naps and sudden awakenings and being unable to immediately go back to sleep? Wow. That’s my goal.
