Healthcare is breaking my brain. Half of my brain has paused the stressful thoughts to take a little rest. I feel like I am inside that half, watching the other half while it's trying to figure things out, and failing. I think it's using humor to cope, in the half-joking, "haha-just-kiddin-...-unless" kinda way:
"Should I try to summarize everything in a list? Is there a better way to communicate the nuanced relationships between things? What about a flowchart? Color-coding? An accompanying musical soundtrack? A gift basket of thematic snacks? Wait, seriously--maybe snacks will help. What if it's an edible flow chart?"
👍 Sounds good, brain. Keep it up. Let me know if you need a taste tester for your flowchart.

I will say this openly tho: If you think it’s alright to make jokes about s*icide, s*icidal thoughts, or s*lf h*rm, I don’t have any interest in being your friend and am deeply uncomfortable with you! You can either change that behavior or not talk to me, it is up to you👍
And even if you’re joking about yourself,,,,,sure that’s more okay, but be mindful that the jokes remain contained to yourself, don’t do the “well I can joke about people who do this thing because I do/did this” thing. Also probably use a trigger warning any time you tell those jokes, and just be super careful about how you tell them so you don’t belittle or straight up trigger other mentally ill people. Using dark humor to cope is fine until you start hurting other people with it so just Don’t
