Memes. In just a few short words and a funny picture, they can often perfectly describe what life with anxiety is really like. While there’s nothing funny about struggling with your mental health, sometimes a little humor can go a long way — especially on a Sunday night when you’re feeling anxious about the week ahead.

While of course, memes can’t cure anxiety sparked by the anticipation of a new week, they can offer a momentary distraction if you’re struggling to do some last minute chores, or trying to will yourself to get ready for bed.

No matter what kind of mental state you’re in going into this week, we hope these memes can bring a smile to your face.

If you use humor to cope with anxiety, here’s a roundup of some memes that might make you chuckle:
