People with serious problems

Lounge

I open almost every thread which I find talking about serious problem,and only find jokes about illness.What is with people that are really suffering.Do they think everything is joke?

2

I think some people use humor as a way to confront problems.

I use humour and music to fight my affliction, and to stay grounded in reality.

Ok so you have some things that make you happy.What i wanted to say is there are people who are not very “happy” about illness.

There’s a lot of misery and sadness associated with this affliction. If a little bit of humour can brighten up someone’s day, I see no problem with it at all. Life can’t be all doom and gloom 24/7.

If I didn’t make light of my situation with humor I’d probably not be on this planet anymore.
It’s a good way for me to cope

So it’s not disaster for you,and my tread is “people with serious problems”.This is third version of this site,I’ve seen it all.If humor saved you,congratulations.

Maybe your humor is distracting people who want to be heard in original illness state.This is first time there is large amount of rubbish.

oh psychosis has been a terrible disaster for me. humor certainly has not saved me, it just helps.
changing my belief system and doing ACT and CBT and other therapies is what has improved my situation.
i have written extensively on serious topics on psychosis.

theres only so much seriousness that can be said before you feel like playing with some legos or some hopscotch :slight_smile:

I think this site tends to treat serious threads and serious concerns from posters with respect.

We joke around a lot, but all bear down and focus when someone really needs our help or advice.

If you aren’t happy with this forum, then why have you stayed here for over 10 months?

16

Because I’m not “happy” and not ignore it.My thread is “people with serious problems”.If you are not one,you are free not to post.

I do have a serious problem. I’m on 20mg of Abilify per day for the treatment of Schizophrenia.

I just don’t wallow in it. I try to stay positive. And if that involves humour, then so be it. Not sure what you’re really looking for from this place, but it sounds to me like you’re a bit easily offended.

I prolly have the worst anhedonia u can find, I’m not gonna complain on here cuz no matter what ppl say, it won’t fix it. Even tho I don’t have emotions my sense of humor is still in tact, I think things are funny even stupidity is funny.

Maybe people make light of living with sz with humor. doesn’t mean they don’t hurt. I understand u shouldn’t joke about everything, but this forum isn’t all about doom and gloom.

Please don’t get me wrong,I come to site every few days and find nothing for me.It bothers me because previous versions of site were not so “funny”.So each time i see funny posts it makes me leave forum,because i find nothing any more.I think that many people like me find this site not suitable for them,just because they can’t express their feelings.I’m also schizophrenic but I don’t run into humor because I feel bad.I’d rather have someone to really listen to my problems,as I’m prepared to help with talking when ever I can.
