no! I could use a good one. Sometimes I let down my guard and get silly with my daughter. She’s a blast to be around when she’s in a good mood and focused on “us”

oh laughing used to be my “tell” meaning that people could figure out I was mentally ill because I’d burst out laughing to myself. It’s still a bad habit when I’m alone, just thinking of something silly and then AHHAHAHA all alone in my apartment. I learned little tricks to avoid laughing in public, but it’s still kind of a thing I’m still nervous about doing. Like, I’ll bite my lips and kind of purse them at the same time, so that it crunches my smile down on itself and just looks like a facial expression instead of a full blown grin and laugh.

I like to laugh and I love memes so I surround myself with humor and vines, get my giggles in, but My sz exacerbated the laughing to myself bit, sometimes the voices would crack jokes and send me into giggle fits right in the middle of class! hu-mil-ia-ting! Now that I’m on meds though, I can usually control a fit.

I haven’t had a good laugh in a really long time. I have found some of the inside jokes on this forum funny though. That’s it really.

I find things lots of things which happen in life humorous and like to laugh if I think it’s funny. As long as it isn’t at the expense of someone else. I prefer wit, some types of satire, comic-tragedy, a little slapstick even. After all, if you can’t laugh at the absurdity of life you will cry.

I have two extremes. Sometimes I laugh too much and feel too high, then in a few minutes I feel so depressed. It is never stable. During psychosis I have hysteria of some sort

I laugh all the time. My roommate has a great sense of humor.

I saw despair in a black bag
Felt it,touched it and threw it away
But once again it stood beside me
Crying out for a taste of anguish

I laughed,it was a joke,a fantasy
Then i looked down on the floor
The room shook and the fragments sharp
Tumbled on to the once golden floor

I bent down to pick up the pieces
And like a rusty needle they went through me
The earth went dark,oh so dark
I tried to smile,a vacant pit.

Laughter,what is laughter?
I cannot tell,it avoids me
There is just the darkness
And the broken fragments on the floor

Since I’m taking the antipsychotic, I never laugh because I have no emotion.
