Mental Health Humor and Cartoons

Mental Health Humor: Mid-Night Insanity

Well, this month is done and July is over. Tomorrow we will have a very limited Saturday review. But what the blog does not show is all the things that have been going on here on the home front. I have had so much going on but things are starting to fall into place a bit.

Then boom… Wednesday morning around three AM.. I was not thinking about anything, just sitting watching t.v. and I turned my head to the right with a smile then looked at the window and it was as quick as a snap of a finger my smile was gone. This woeful feeling of dread and the loss of hope hit me. As if every thing was taken away from me and I was standing in the middle of this large void… I was engulfed by a strong depression and I was sinking quick. This is nothing new, for that is how it happens for me.  One second happy go luck the next as if there is no hope and purpose. The meds help but they are not a cure. I still have to deal with the mood swings.

I took a pill and went to sleep only to wake up around 4 p.m. Thursday.  Now on top of the depression, I was having an anxiety attack all day. I felt like I was a deer caught in the head light of a Mac Truck and I could not move.  Nor did I really want to.

My mind was racing, and racing… I was up again all night and could not get to sleep…

So I thought to myself, this is a perfect time to put into practice the whole idea of my blog… To use humor to heal… I started out by sitting down and drawing… Look for the funny was my mantra.  Then I had and idea, then another, and before I knew it I had 4 new cartoons almost down… That helped some.

Then I sat and watch some t.v. South Park was on and that cracked me up, starting to feel better… Then Family Guy came on… and by the end, I was laughing out loud.

So, I was able to put to use the idea that humor is healthy, and can help heal.

See, we all know this works… but do we put it to use when we need it?…

So I ask, what will you do this week to tickle your funny bone?
