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 call my ADHD pills something far worse. I take Vyvanse 70mg, which are half-pink half-blue (in Australia).
Full disclosure, I’m a trans ally and I would never use derogatory language sincerely or in public. When I’m with my mates we call my meds tranny pills and joke that they help me clean the dishes.
I’m aware that tranny is a derogatory term, and it’s sexist to imply washing dishes is a woman’s job.
