Mental Health Humor and Cartoons

Mental Health Humor: Literary Madness

Caption1:

I Really Think your meds are off and you need HELP.

Caption 2:

Why do you think that?

Caption 3:

Because You’re a NUT JOB!

Title:

Literary Madness

This cartoon might give you a chuckle or two to the many writers, poets and book worms that visit.  You will notice the  conversation is grammatically correct. My wife likes it and when I showed it to her she cracked up laughing, that does not happen often when I show the cartoons to her… I have to give her an explanation why some of the cartoons would be funny…  See sometimes the only people that seem to get some of the cartoons are people living with mental illness.  That is just how it should be since these are our cartoons, from our point of view.

 Just wanted to remind you to make sure you read over the last two posts, that would be a great help and you can get a cartoon drawn about you.

No cartoon today, I want to talk to everyone about the Idea for raising money for Mental Health Humor.  But before that I thought I would share this news of the weird story I found. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mentally ill patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.

Blog-a-thon fundraiser For Mental Health Humor

Thinking out side the box.

I would like every one to be able to have the chance I had to be able to express yourself and make a few bucks doing it.  I love blogging and  run this free website to educate people about mental health issues with the use of humor.  I was thinking about how I could raise some money to help keep the blog going.

As I’m sure you know, with any project, it takes money to keep going. But, money is so tight right now for every one.  And let me just say this, I DON’T WANT YOUR MONEY.

I just want some of your time to blog. Not only will you help me but you will also get a few bucks for doing it… Now, you can keep or donate back to us, that is up to you.

You can blog about any subject, although the more blogs about mental health is always welcome when it comes to reducing stigma and discrimination.

Now here is how it will be good for every one.  By using my referral link you would be making a donation to me.  How, well, I can get paid a  referral fee once you build your blog and post for 10 days.   Here is the best part, when you post you will get $1.00 per day for one post a day.  So in 30 days you can $30.00 and be of help me at the same time. So, even though you might start out blogging to help me you may quickly find blogging for Today might be helping you by giving you a way to make a few extra bucks in these tough times.

So, if you would like to help just use this link to get started.

Mental Health Humor: LET me Draw YOU as a cartoon, FOR FREE!

Caption: “I caught you a delicious bass.”

I am trying to expand my horizons with my cartooning.  As I’m sure you all know, I’m no professional cartoonist and that I do this 100% free.  It’s true, I love to draw and it helps me cope with living Bipolar disorder.  I am so happy that some of the cartoons are helping others too by putting a little smile on your face and a giggle in your gut.  It is also true I would love to get paid to do this so if any one knows a way I can, feel free to let me know…

Anyway, I thought I would try and get you involved a little more and hopefully have some fun with it and sharpen my budding cartooning skills.

So, let me try and draw you as a cartoon.  I want you to e-mail me a photo of you and I will do my best to do one of three things.

1. Draw you just as a cartoon caricature head and do exaggerated facial features.
2. Draw you into a full body cartoon character.
3. All of the above and use you in a Mental Health Cartoon.

Or all of the above…

Now what do you have to do to get in on having your very own custom cartoon?

First, you need to comment below and to let me know you want to play.

Then you need to e-mail a photo  and once a week, I will draw a custom cartoon and post it.

How will you get picked to have your own custom cartoon?  Well, I thought about it and I think I will just base it on whoever comments the most that week will win.  This way, I can feel good about putting my time and engery in to a free custom cartoon for you knowing that you’re helping me and the blog by commenting… and then we both win… Well, that is until you see how really awful I draw your cartoon.  Then I’m sure you will feel riped off… But, hey it’s all in good fun right.

I will do my first custom cartoon one week from today.

So, Comment and send your photos to  info(at)mentalhealthhumor(dot)com

JPG format - at least 500 pixel to 1000 - full body or just face -

Remember the image you send me will be posted with the cartoon so make sure you’re o.k. with that since it might be seen by one or two people.  (must be 18 or old to play)

One day, one step, one movement is all it takes to proceed to a new elevation of hope.  In a world so riddled with broken dreams and hopelessness, it make one wonder just where we can turn to find true happiness.  Some times we get so over whelmed with our own self and our disorders that we forget about others.  If we can just remember that all it takes some times is just a little laughter to give us a new perspective on our own situation.

To err is human; to laugh about it is divine!

 Mental Health Humor: Agoraphobic Mail, Pizza and Milk

Caption:

Can you use the pizza slot this time.

Title:

Agoraphobic Mail, Pizza and Milk Slots

Agoraphobia is more common than you might think. It is the anxiety and fear feel when you’re trapped or in a situation from which to escape.  Not being able to go out of you house with out some one there to help.  It gets to a point that you isolate some much that it is all you know.

I personally have dealt with it to some degree.  There are days, some time weeks can go by where I don’t even leave the house.  It still takes me a lot time to get out, and any little thing can trigger a fight or flight reaction.  I find myself looking for any little reason NOT to go out.  I usually find it too.

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder related to fear. With agoraphobia, you fear being in places where it may be difficult or embarrassing to get out quickly or where you may have a panic attack and can’t get help. Because of your fears, you avoid places where you think you may have a panic attack or panic-like symptoms.

People with agoraphobia often have a hard time feeling safe in any public place, especially places where crowds gather. Commonly feared places and situations are elevators, sporting events, lines, bridges, public transportation, driving, shopping malls and airplanes. The fears can be so overwhelming that some people are essentially trapped in their own homes — it’s the only place they feel truly safe, so they don’t venture out into public at all.

Agoraphobia treatment can be challenging because it usually means confronting your fears. Both medications and psychotherapy have been found to be helpful. With treatment, you can escape the trap of agoraphobia and live a more enjoyable life. www.mayoclinic.com
