A conversation with your therapist is the most relatable new meme

'And what do we say when we feel like this?'

In case you haven't heard, being sad, depressed, and anxious online is kind of trendy now.

It's perfectly acceptable to tweet about being tired, single, or embarrassed. It's fine to post an Instagram Story about your exasperating commute. And, as the latest meme making the rounds on social media confirms, it's even cool (and extremely relatable) to openly discuss therapy.

The new self-deprecating meme imagines a conversation between you and a therapist. Upon being asked, "And what do we say when we feel like this?" you respond with something that clearly misses the mark, and your therapist then shows disapproval.
