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?"

Yeah ik lol. I think it's funny to use those words wrong on purpose bc it makes kids cringe

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not just the kids... (though the reasons may differ)

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Haha, that's fair

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Everybody knows Ohio is bad.

Oh, you meant the slang term

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can I get your dankest CPTSD and social anxanity memes, or do I need to be a client?

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

God's plan

SLPT_ Is your life boring_

I feel personally attacked by this meme

Now about your health insurance...

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 11 points 1 week ago

Spicy and relatable, but It seems my card has declined.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I said "mood" to most of these does that mean I should have stuck with therapy instead of self medicating and avoidance?

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I'd say it depends on how well the drugs and avoidance is going

[–] Hackworth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

/avoids answering and smokes up

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Mixed results but that wont stop me from trying.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Might I ask what sort of drugs?

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

That's the spirit! With drugs and a can-do attitude, therapy would just be a waste of money

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

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly! Preciate the validation lol

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh shit you're the person who posted that wholesome message that I then bastardized. I was honestly disappointed that mine got more upvotes

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ha, you're good, upvotes are just pixels on the internet. The more people saw that meme, the better.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True! I just meant I was disappointed that people were more likely to upvote hate than love, but it's to be expected

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.
