Almost everyone I know has struggled with anxiety or depression at some point, myself included. For many, laughter is the drug of choice, a single crutch that holds us up when the world is pulling us down. Without comedy to distract us from darkness, there is no light for some —remember that next time you're scrolling and find yourself falling victim to a joke. Social media is changing the game for humor writers and content creators, making it harder for us to deliver a punchline. Ironically, it's not their fault; it's ours for allowing victim culture to tell us what we think is funny. Please support your local jokester by giving them full reign on humor. Stop looking for reasons to be offended, and trust that their intentions are only to make you smile —because they are. Below are 25 anxiety-ridden laughs from some of my friends who are struggling to hold it together as much, if not more, than you. Be sure to follow them on Instagram if you're not already. 1.
