Being stressed out really is a garbage-tier human experience. It's gotta be bottom 5. It makes you feel bad, it can stop you from thinking straight, and it can even cause health problems if it affects you for long enough. What's worse is if you go to the doctor about it, they are probably just going to tell you to lower your stress levels, giving you yet another thing to worry about. Oh, and these days you also have to deal with a bunch of grifting TikTokers telling you that you have 'cortisol face'.

The only semi-positive thing we can say about stress is that it is sometimes a motivator for getting things done. That, and it's not an experience that we're alone in. These relatable stress memes are eager to show us that, as well as give some much-needed relief from this uncomfortable feeling. We'll take all the help that we can get.
