Anyone else cope with their mental health by joking about it?

My childhood was so absurd I just can’t be serious about it.

I take so many meds when my pharmacist asked me why I take two meds that do the same thing I told him that “that’s just how much my brain is ~~f***ed ~~ messed up”. He didn’t appreciate it.

my spouse tells me that people usually don’t like it when you do that and that’s why I have trouble making friends.

Can anyone relate?

    Modern ECT is nothing like the movies. You’re under general anesthesia so you’re unconscious for the whole thing, and they use a paralytic to make sure you don’t convulse and hurt yourself. For my treatments, I usually arrive at the hospital early in the morning and I’m home by lunch time
