I literally do this with some of my clients, usually the adolescent ones, and I encourage them to show me their favorite memes
Edit: I even have a saved memes folder for each diagnosis/symptom I treat
"Mom do I really need to go to the brainrot appointment today?"
Lmao
Edit: leaving myself a good review pretending to be a gen alpha client:
you know Ohio is bad, right?
Yeah ik lol. I think it's funny to use those words wrong on purpose bc it makes kids cringe
Not just the kids... (though the reasons may differ)
Haha, that's fair
Everybody knows Ohio is bad.
Oh, you meant the slang term
Can I get your dankest CPTSD and social anxanity memes, or do I need to be a client?
Idk that any of these could be considered dank, but they're the dankest I've got for that category, plus my fav relevant tweet
Now about your health insurance...
Spicy and relatable, but It seems my card has declined.
If I said "mood" to most of these does that mean I should have stuck with therapy instead of self medicating and avoidance?
Hmmm. I'd say it depends on how well the drugs and avoidance is going
Mixed results but that wont stop me from trying.
That's the spirit! With drugs and a can-do attitude, therapy would just be a waste of money
/avoids answering and smokes up
Yup, checks out lmao (I got CPTSD)
God, it's so exhausting to constantly be paying attention to the smallest changes in people's "energy". It has probably made others annoyed with me more than anything else
I, a fully grown adult, have a folder of memes I wish I could show ever medical person who was or is ever involved in my care.
Often, especially being autistic, and even more so being in chronic pain, remembering all the things you need to say and getting them out without interruption or distraction can be impossible, I wish communicating to medical staff via memes were normalised. Please spread the word among your colleagues.
Exactly! Preciate the validation lol
Sure thing, you're doing a good thing, and I genuinely hope to find (at least) a therapist one day who gets it in the same way.
Oh shit you're the person who posted that wholesome message that I then bastardized. I was honestly disappointed that mine got more upvotes
Ha, you're good, upvotes are just pixels on the internet. The more people saw that meme, the better.
True! I just meant I was disappointed that people were more likely to upvote hate than love, but it's to be expected
Ha, I've only just now realised you changed the text (I honestly just scrolled past and assumed it was the same), and actually I can't blame them.. 😂
I think a combo of the kind one on top and the proactive one on the bottom would be perfect.
Shit.
