16 Tweets About Anxiety I'm Currently Laughing At Because They Hit A Little Too Close To Home

    "Me: 'Sorry I didn’t text you back. I was pretending I didn’t see it, and I actually ended up forgetting.'" —@gtartibu88

    As a person who's been anxious all of their life, I find it very cathartic (and hilarious) to read jokes and memes making fun of anxiety. It makes me feel like I'm not alone! Here are some grade-A jokes I've found recently on Twitter.

    And be sure to follow the accounts that made you laugh to make your feed even better!

    When i say no worries, i actually mean no worries for you, because they're all mine now. I have anxiety. I have all the worries. I'm stealing yours. None for you. If you wanted them then too bad

    If you were the type of child that hoarded stickers because you couldn't commit to sticking them onto something and not be able to remove them in one piece.. congrats, your now an anxious adult!
