If You’re Particularly Affected by “Monday Misery,” These Memes Might Help You Cope

You can decry this as Instagram-quote-faux-positivity all you want, but it's a fact of life: We don't know if we're guaranteed another day or even another minute. Anyone who's ever lost a loved one in an untimely fashion would tell you that cherishing every moment you can spend with that person while they're still alive is something more of us should be actively focusing on.

Not just "getting through" the day, not just surviving, but thriving.

That doesn't mean the desire to coast through certain situations due to emotional, mental, or physical lassitude isn't a very real struggle; it's something that tons of people go through on a daily basis, and there are some days of the week that are more predisposed to this doom-and-gloom thought process than others.

And the day that everyone seems to hate the most is Mondays. Maybe it's because it's a reminder that after a weekend of getting to hang out and being "off the hook" from work responsibilities, knowing that you have to pick up whatever slack you dropped in that two-day period is back on the menu.

And like any form of discomfort folks need to deal with nowadays, there are plenty of memes online that deal with the phenomena that is "Monday Misery."

It's a difficult day when you realize your negative opinions about things don't make you as special and counter-culture as you thought you were.

Or else you'll end up pulling off half-hearted attempts like this one.

...unless you're Richard Gere, in which case they're allegedly gerbils.

But at least your parents gave you a cool shirt to wear.

It's important to remember that there are people behind the businesses / websites / days of the week that you malign online.

Dwight Schrute ugly crying does seem like an untapped meme format.

And even though this image still was lifted from the Last of Us TV show to embody the despair folks feel whenever Monday rolls around, there's nothing that can be as depressing as watching the series.
