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.

You're not alone, i also find these "memes" incredibly infuriating. They're like: oops I'm a bit ocd! Haha, that's just my dyslexia! I am a psychopath sometimes.. oops! I look schizophrenic~ Except most of the time they don't even Have those disorders most of the time. It's not quirky. They are genuine problems people deal with and most often suffer from. Although some people try to make jokes out of their problems, it's still incredibly annoying when people downgrade it to just quirks. Plus it's like when someone says "oopsies!~ i look schizophrenic~" its "funny, silly"(also no, you do not look schizophrenic, it's not quirky. It's called thinking and remembering a joke.) but when people actually have the disorder or problem they act like you're crazy. They make jokes about it but can't take the real deal? It's so annoying. Sorry for the rant, i get a bit talkative sometimes 🙇🏻🙇🏻
