28 Instagram Posts About Anxiety That Will Make You Feel Less Alone

If you catch me smiling goofily at my phone, chances are I'm looking at a web cartoon.  It's one of my favourite things about Instagram!

There are some incredibly talented creators out there who can get us all thinking "OMG ME TOO!" It's such a wonderful feeling to relate to something that is touching and hilarious at the same time.

Art and humour are two brilliant ways to express our mental health journeys and make us feel a little less alone.

How do you get creative about expressing your mental health? Leave me a comment, I would love to know more!

Without further ado...here are 20 web cartoons about anxiety I came across recently that I absolutely LOVED and genuinely cracked up.

I hope they will add some joy and light to your day!

We acknowledge the devastating impact of colonisation on Indigenous communities, cultures, languages and homelands. We acknowledge our responsibility as settlers and newcomers to this country for reconciliation and allyship of support for Indigenous rights to be restored and commit ourselves to the journey of healing. Today, we honour the more than 630 First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
