BURNED OUT & Co.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re one bad day away from getting mentally “blended,” this tee is for you.
The Fish Tank Tee is a raw, metaphorical expression of how anxiety shows up in men:
You look fine from the outside - quiet, composed, functional.
But inside?
You’re stuck in a glass container with your thoughts swirling, pressure rising, and a switch that could go off at any moment.
That’s what this design represents:
The fish - you, trying to stay calm
The blender - the world, stress, expectations, burnout
The dial - the part of your brain always waiting for things to go wrong
It’s humorous.
It’s dark.
It’s painfully accurate.
And it gives men a way to express what’s happening inside without saying a word.
Wear it when your mind feels like it's running on overdrive.
Wear it to remind yourself (and others) that you're not alone.
Wear it because the design is too damn relatable.
