Mental Health Humor:
Great Another Year to Fail at Life.
Cartoon Caption:
Wellness Plan 2008 and 2009
Title:
Just Great! Another Year!
Great, another year to fail at life! But I’d rather fail at life then not try at all. For many, each year gives us an opportunity to reflect on the past year’s ups and downs. For me personally, this will go down as the year of absolute HELL!!! Still, without going through the valley of death, I would not have started the cartoon. Without the cartoons, I would not have found a constant positive coping skill. Without this new skill, I would not have been offered to blog. Without the blog, I would not have met so many great and wonderful people. People who, despite living with many different types of mental disorders, have chosen to live instead of letting the mental illness control them.
People like E-mouse! She has been one of our biggest commentators with well over 100 posted. She has shared her life’s up and downs with us and she has helped me see we are not alone.
Then there are people like Alicia Sparks formally of Mental Health Notes, who now writes for Celebrity Psyching. She has been such a mentor to me! She helped get me started with blogging. Now she is with the big wigs at Psych Central writing up a storm on celebrity and mental health.
David Granirer * Stand Up For Mental Health
David Granirer is the founder of Stand Up For Mental Health.
He teaches stand up comedy to people with mental illness as a way of building self-esteem and fighting public stigma.
In an e-mail to Dave back in March of 2008, I asked him about how he deals with people who say he is just making fun of mental illness… His response was classic…”if people are getting upset then you must be doing something right.” It is so true, you can’t please everyone. If people are not going to take the time to understand what using humor with mental health is all about….Then they are just going to makes waves. Those waves might just reach others and peak their interest.
There are so many others that have affected my thinking and inspired me over this past year! I want to mention them all (and say THANKS) but I’m running out to go fishing with my son… I will highlight others later.
