Things I wish people would stop making jokes about
-hearing voices
-needing therapy
-taking “crazy” pills
-asylums and mental hospitals
-seeing things/having visions
-delusional thinking
-mentally ill people in general like just stop
This. Ableism against mentally ill people, especially those with psychosis, delusions, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc., is so so pervasive and so so harmful.
But what about people who have actually been to mental hospitals, see things and take medication. I make jokes about it as kind of like a defense.
I’ve been to a mental hospital three times and I like to joke about it.
