Nothing can lighten a heart worn down by life than a good laugh. And a good therapist.
Combine those two- therapy and humor- and you’re looking at a wealth of stress-relieving, anxiety relaxing, mental health supporting free self-care.
Just look at all those buzz words. There is literally nothing that could be better for your mental health than these tweets.
After all, “humor is the best medicine.”
Joking aside, there are millions of twitter users (a completely made up number, btw) who participate in some form of therapy. And we all know when the twitter-verse comes together, they can provide some real gems.
So take 5 minutes from your day. And just laugh.
Giggles, smiles, or silent LOLs are acceptable also. And yes, I know that a LOL, by definition, is not silent. But you know what I’m talking about.

Me: it’s very alien to think of myself as an angry person
— Jasmine Sha-Ree Sanders (@JasMoneyRecords) January 21, 2020
Therapist: you think so?
Me: yes, I won’t even kill spiders, I set them free!
Therapist: well you’ve always been depressed, frequently suicidal…you don’t think of that as anger or violence, directed inward?
Me: pic.twitter.com/DYoKxoI62R
4. They also have a theory about everything and everyone
This day in history. 2004. NASA’s Mars Rover Spirit stopped communicating with mission control in what its therapist described as a not unexpected bid for attention.

Me: *burying my toes in the warm sand* This is so nice

*Twiddles thumbs while attempting to calm my brain down*
Sigh
13. It’s nice to feel small victories
Any other overachievers auto-apply that mindset to things where it doesn’t even make sense? Today my therapist told me I handled my most recent depressive episode well & internally I was like “Yes! External validation! Therapy gold star!” *laughsob* #therapy #mentalhealth

14. Therapists have good stories to share

— The Untastic Mr. Fitz (@UnFitz) January 19, 2020
Therapist’s notes: “I’ve got a live one here.”
24. Don’t find a date in the waiting room

My massage therapist and my regular therapist could have a really nice lunch together discussing how my anxiety manifests in my body.

31. Even therapy can have a leader
my therapist told me I was the “perfect candidate for therapy” the other day so
— baby gherkin (@staggalicious) January 13, 2020
bow to your Queen
32. If it wasn’t mentioned before, they’ll be truthfully blunt
My therapist told me I’m like Wreck-It Ralph so naturally I rewatched the movie (and sequel) to better understand what exactly she meant and my conclusion is that she essentially called me big & needy straight to my face…
