Coping with humor - Star Trek: Website

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?

Absolutely. I get ECT treatments, where they use electricity to induce a seizure. When you’re seizing, usually the only thing that moves is your toes. So what do I do, when my trratment happens to fall on April Fools Day? Superglue googly eyes to my toes so they boggle around as I twitch 👀👁👀👁👀 On normal days I wear goofy socks, usually matching some kind of theme for the nearest holiday or season.

I also brought in a Pikachu sticker to try and put on the ECT machine. I couldn’t get away with that, but they did let me put it on the equipment bin that goes along with the machine and the cart it’s on. It lightens the mood a bit.
