Mental Health Humor : Weekly Cartoon Review June 22 - 28, 2008
What a week! What a BUSY week! We made it through another one - YAHOO!! How was your week? Well, you’re here - so pat yourself on the back - You Did It!!
So much going on, I need a review. A Saturday “Weekly” Review. May be you do, too. It’s time for some reflection on the week’s activities. Did you accomplish what you wanted this week? Are you heading in the direction you want to go or need to go? Did you manage your time accordingly? Have you mapped out your course? Please, be sure to put us on your map! X (MentalHealthHumor.com ) marks the spot. Well, we need to take it day by day…so here’s a recap of our daily cartoons! Hopefully each cartoon gave you your daily dose of good medicine - LAUGHTER! and a smile! 
Sunday |
This full color cartoon paid homage to Dave Granirer, founder of Stand Up for Mental Health. Dave teaches stand up comedy to people with mental illness as a way of building self-esteem and fighting stigma…Way to Go Dave!! Thanks Dave for the chat on June 25th! Keep Standing…UP! - Everyone! |
Monday |
Ask Dr. Bob, Bob - “Unqualified Psychotherapist” cartoon - Sleepless Mind. Oh the benefits of a good night sleep. Many who suffer from various mental disorders suffer from sleeplessness as well. We appreciate all the comments on this post from: TG, Pinkink, hauteness, electricmousie! Wishing you all a “Bon Soir” and “Bon Nuit” every night! |
Tuesday |
“The Reanimation of Normal” cartoon addressed the definition of what is truly “Normal” in today’s society. The simple fact whether we accept it or not - “WE ALL DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH!” We are all dealing with something whether defined or not. Thank you Autism Insights and Electricmousie for your continued support and comments for this post! The moral of this cartoon - Let’s all treat each other with DIGNITY and RESPECT - We ALL deserve it! |
Wednesday |
Hare-Trigger Emotions - cartoon highlighted emotions we cannot control. An excerpt from a self-help psychology book - “Be your own Therapist” states - “What is emotional health anyway? A useful definition of emotional health is the ability to express all emotions appropriately. Those who have this ability are surely mentally healthy. Being emotionally stuck is often the best indicator of current lack of emotional health…obviously, this indicator of emotional health suggests that many of us lack emotional health much of the time.” Thank You Autism Insights, blondiewrites and electricmousie - appreciate your thoughts - Thanks! |
Thrursday |
Depression - Eeyore Attitude Cartoon helps us to appreciate “We CAN NOT GIVE UP!” Keep up the Fight…if you are dealing with depression - seek out and get a support network to help you cope! Hauteness - So sorry about the death of your brother! Glad to hear though that you are coping and thriving now - Keep it up! Trixxie - thanks for your comments. Glad you liked Eeyore reginaavalos. I can definitely understand how Eeyore is “beloved” to you electricmousie! |
Friday |
5 Questions Friday - Interview and Cartoon discussing Dual Diagnosis. Friday’s interview with Jesse Fortner, the Conference Coordinator for Foundations Associates was very informative! Thank you Jesse for your insights and generosity - can’t forget the 5 loot bags…much appreciated!! Did you get one? Hope so! This interview gave us much insight into dual diagnosis and treatment.Thanks Jen for your comment and support. Good topic idea/inspiration for a cartoon. |
| Well, here you have it - our Week in Review. So, what do you think? How would you review/sum up our week’s topics? What was your favorite cartoon and topic for the week? Did any particular one help you through your week? Looking forward to hearing your review! Oh, can’t forget to Thank toddwin and richsilfrer for your “encouraging” comments this week as well. Don’t forget to tell me - whose your favorite: Winnie the Pooh or Eeyore? and why? I hope, we are all on the same page and moving in the same direction…toward Happiness, Healing, and of course, Laughter! Enjoy your Week-end! Keeping laughing…. | |

Just a few words of encouragement today! I’m kind of swinging like Tarzan so I dont trust myself to send you a legible post…some of your cartoons have me laughing myself silly….I mentioned the idea of doing an ECT on me to my better half with his new battery charger…..WAHOOEY! He thought I was clear crazy..of course, I was only making light of having to go through the regular ones ..turning something that’s ugly and scary into a source of laughter for me!!!!
@Elec - I think the cartoon is a great idea, and i don’t thing we can be stigmatic towards a procedure that up till recently was consider barbaric! The many horror stories from it alone makes it worth bring it to light. The changes in how it is done and the positives and the negatives (no pun intended) need to be talked about.
