Anyone else cope with their mental health by joking about it?
My childhood was so absurd I just can’t be serious about it.
I take so many meds when my pharmacist asked me why I take two meds that do the same thing I told him that “that’s just how much my brain is ~~f***ed ~~ messed up”. He didn’t appreciate it.
my spouse tells me that people usually don’t like it when you do that and that’s why I have trouble making friends.
Can anyone relate?
I definitely do it, and my friends love that about me. You just have to find the right people, who get your jokes. One of my favorite things about my friendships is being able to joke like this together and have it never feel strange. Maybe strangers won’t like it or maybe they will. If they do, they are a potential friend. That’s how I look at it.
