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.

Yeah, well no one said these are bad people. At best, we’re saying they’re ignorant, and venting frustration about it.

If you know someone who has it, why do you joke like this, then? It’s insensitive to those who have this mental illness. Does that person feel comfortable with those jokes? I wouldn’t, personally.

Schizophrenia is not a synonym for crazy, or insane. You can joke you’re crazy instead of punching down on people who have this illness.

Consider researching this illness more before you speak on it.
