Like most of the internet, I’ve been loving my gifs lately. Gifs are hilarious to use when you’re in a group chat but there are also some funny anxiety gifs that are super relatable when you’re feeling the anxiety bug. Some of these can cheer you up when you’re not feeling too good.
Here are some of the best anxiety gifs that I’ve come across that you might just be able to relate to yourself!
1. The brown paper bag
Anxiety can make you feel out of breath, especially when you’re about to have a panic attack. Sometimes it can make your eyes turn into weird spirals too.
2. Low on juice
Anxiety can be exhausting. The constant feeling of fear can make you feel like you’re out of juice by the end of the day.
3. Up all night
One of the worst things about anxiety is the relentless thinking at night. Sometimes it can be almost impossible to switch off and go to sleep.
4. Trying to stay upbeat
Trying to stay positive when you start to feel anxious is tough. Pretending to be upbeat is tougher.
5. Jumbled thoughts
Anxiety can cause you to have jumbled, confused thoughts. It’s difficult to clear your mind.
6. Better days
Let this anxiety gif give you hope. Even though we might feel anxious and afraid, the feeling will eventually pass, just like the weather.

7. Cell phone overlord
We let our phones dictate how much anxiety we feel. Waiting for someone to message us back or looking at our social feeds too much, we’ve allowed our phones to become our overlords.
8. The hole
It can feel like you’re constantly trying not to fall down a hole when anxiety strikes. This anxiety gif is almost a perfect representation of that.
9. Ridin’ those meds
Taking anti-anxiety meds can feel like you’re having a weird dream where you might as well be riding your meds through space…
10. By yourself
Anxiety can make you reclusive, wanting to spend time with only yourself. Even things like eating can become incredibly private when you become socially anxious.
11. Scatter brains
Anxiety can make your thoughts tumble over each other. It’s hard to think straight and get your thoughts clear when you’re in an anxiety rut.
12. The darkness within
Anxiety can feel like it’s lurking in the background, ready to pounce at any moment.
13. I’m fine
Sometimes it’s a bit hard to open up and admit that you’re not fine. Too often we bottle up how we feel and end up making things worse for ourselves in the long run. Instead, we must open up and talk.
14. Ring ring
This anxiety gif depicts the badgering anxiety does to us. Instead of answering the call, we should observe it and wait until it hangs up.
