Elmo, most known for his chipper nature, took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask how everyone was doing. To the puppet’s surprise, the answers were a mix of hilarity and desperation.

The tweet has more than 28,000 responses.

One response was simple, “Elmo, we’re tired.” As for the others, they were more creative and honest.

As many of these responses were traumatic, a few were positive.

Although Elmo is sweet and caring, anyone needing help should call Georgia’s hotline — which is simply 988 — that serves “as the key lifeline for Americans who were in the throes of a mental health crisis.”
