After being told to use AI for EVERYTHING by the DoD they are now realizing the sheer cost of having people use AI to write emails. 500 million tokens so far this year. People are being told to stop doing BS with AI and sessions are getting truncated unexpectedly. Did I mention AI s***s?

Poking fun at mental health struggles doesn’t necessarily mean you’re downplaying them. It is, in fact, an excellent way to cope, as it helps the person distance themselves from their problems. Here’s what registered clinical counselor and Vedder Counseling owner Dr. Ben Garrett tells Bored Panda:
“There is something powerful about realizing someone else has experienced the same strange thought or behavior. For a moment, the person doesn't feel quite so alone.”
For others, memes are a way to explain what they are experiencing by condensing nuanced ideas into a single image. And for licensed mental health counselor Emily Basirico, these memes also encourage us to view our problems differently while allowing us to laugh at ourselves.
“If we see a meme that someone else made that explains our experience so astutely... we can't help but feel less alone, and our problem becomes more normalized. Memes truly help connect us as people.”

Heads up, so are your thirties. And probably the rest of your life cause that early trauma really compounds over time.
But of course, there must be a balance between laughing at our struggles and avoiding addressing them altogether. According to Dr. Garrett, it has to be a mix of both, where you honestly talk about what’s happening while injecting some humor into it.
Meanwhile, Basirico says poking fun should only be a “first line of defense,” as it can still provide healing. What you don’t want to do is avoid pursuing self-growth or refuse to seek help.

Sure, making light of personal struggles can be an effective coping mechanism. But Dr. Garrett also encourages understanding where the emotions are coming from.
“Mental-health memes can be useful,” he said. “They can make people laugh at something that otherwise feels heavy, and sometimes that is genuinely relieving. But the meme should be the beginning of the conversation, not the place where the conversation ends.”

And all the things that bring you joy like art and writing are being slowly overtaken by AI!
Basirico says mental health memes should never oversimplify conditions or make serious conditions seem like mere personality quirks. She still urges people to seek help from professionals who can help them understand what they are going through.

Post war syndrome….ive seen some things, done some things and have no fs left to give……someone needs to help me wash some spoons
“If memes relating to a certain mental health condition continue to feel incredibly relevant to you, seeking support from a counselor or therapist can be helpful, regardless of how serious that problem may be,” Basirico said. “The relatable nature of memes can actually be a helpful tool for a mental health professional to understand you on a deeper level.”

Most of life is pretending to enjoy socializing and going through the motions. Then when you become an old person, you no longer care and that is why so many old folks are grumpy.

The latest advice a kind stranger told me was "use AI to write a prompt that you can give to AI to create a list that you can feed back into AI to design a step by step guide, it won't work but it will help, easy", with me nodding along in despair.

It wouldn't hurt to "look" with your ears and your nose, too. Fingertips and tastebuds, only with caution. But definitely with your curiosity, your sense of wonder, and your heart.

Oh my goodness, so real. Lol…..I listened to so much loud club music that I cannot listen to music today (many decades later) without it bumping. But all other loud noises? Sends me closer to visiting the psych floor over and over again
