Mental Health thread
- Thread starter Subway
- Start date
StuAzole gifting us with his uplifting and enthusiastic persona. Mental Health done.
It’s my fun way of suggesting daily happy/sad stuff isn’t really mental health.
Situational depression because your mom is dying and your wife left you is a mental health issue. Crushing anxiety because your daughter has ADHD and perhaps depression or bipolar is a mental health concern.
This thread should be renamed “everyday life.”
I mean yes
But also this thread had a whole broad spectrum of every day life as well as true challenges
So maybe renaming it everyday life would be similarly misleading
Irregardless, mockery is what the erbb community was built on, but this thread has been pretty supportive at times when some people needed it
To me, mockery seems out of place on this thread
But imagine all that AND stubbing your toe on top of it.
Hamburgers are good for the mental health at that point. Especially tasty ones.
Burritos too.
its all about perspective. I dont have a ton of distractions being a person with no children. the stuff i get overwhelmed with might seem marginal to some people but that doesnt mean they arent big issues for me personally.
Oh I thought you had children
And I totally get it, stuff hits people differently for any number of reasons
And it’s good when a juicy burger makes it all better
For sure. But I bet the things that legit overwhelm you aren’t fixed by a beer.
My trigger here is that Americans still suck at identifying and understanding mental illness. That people think that everyday moods are even remotely similar to real mental health issues shows why we’re still so bad at identifying people really suffering.
That’s not to dismiss the impact life’s everyday events can have on us. If my prior post did that, I apologize.
I live posted, from southern Oaxaca, my brief and horrifying descent into madness. I then resurfaced on this very thread, following my stint in Del Amo and 31 days in a useless but well intentioned rehab. I’ve barely scratched the surface of that whole episode. Even what little I remember will haunt me to the end of my days.
But sure, a couple of good pieces of Uni will cheer me right the fuck up too so, who knows. Half measures were never my thing either way.
divorce settlement got signed today. I keep my land in iguana. I keep roughly 40% of my 401k. no alimony. THATs some damn good Uni

can confirm those are phenomenal for mental health. retained in the divorce, fortunately.
It's all mental health. Is it not?
Ex: yesterday early am. Mom up and confused, dizzy, falling over herself everywhere... says to me, "Son I can feel the life draining right out of me!".
Bit thru my lip to not cry in front of her, cracked a joke and got her to her recliner as best I could.
After that? Something as insignificant as a frigging after eight mint could lift your spirts.
Stewardess related, called 'the friend', says the Madonna is married and will NOT be covering her route anymore. Friend is a friend because of the husband.
The stewardess who "filled in" was 100% accuracy for the Crazy/Hot scale it seems. Cause that's some cray cray chit using your husband's girlfriends to deflect "traffic" for you?
But oh my lord, I will never forget her.... SO HOT!!!!!
p.s. the single best thing for my mental health since my recent divorce and newfound solitude has been a pull up bar a friend was going to throw out, which I took and strapped up to a cross beam on my terrace. Hanging from that has done wonders for my neck and shoulder issues, and thus for my mental health. Sound body, sound mind.

Yea this thread is way deeper than what the idiot thinks. When this started a lot of us were going through some heavy sh!t, and this was the one thread where we DIDNT MOCK people.
Some people will make fun of anyone or anything for attention, best Solution is to not give them what they are looking for.
just ignore them
and then when called on it they will backpeddle like the little bitch they are
On the bright side, at least we know who returned those infamous frozen burritos to the Guerneville Safeway because of uncomfortable rashes:Yea this thread is way deeper than what the idiot thinks.
