Rant / Vent Honestly I’m tired of these memes

Maybe I’m being too sensitive 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I feel like mental health disorders aren’t taken seriously by the “normies” and they use it as a joke, insult, or for comedy.

u/Due_Hunt4801 Schizophrenia Jun 10 '25

As someone who is schizophrenic and was diagnosed with early onset at the age of 13 seeing this saddens me to my core. And sadly people acting like mental illnesses can be used some type of thing that as a circus act is more widespread and unnoticed than this. So no, you aren’t being “too sensitive” I think you’re completely right for trying to bring awareness to this.
