Toons-day: Lighten Up

It’s not always  easy for me to laugh at myself. I suffer from a fear of looking silly or even worst yet, not smart enough. I want to belong and thought acting  “normal” was one way to assure I would fit in. It is natural to want to fit in. After all, belonging to a clan or tribe is how we survived since the beginning of time.

Being able to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too serious can lighten up everyday stress.  When I don’t take myself too serious, I feel liberated to make contact with joy.

Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline. 

• If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
• If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
• If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6
• If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
• If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
• If you are depressed, it doesn’t matter which number you press. No one will answer.
• If you are delusional and occasionally hallucinate, please be aware that the thing you are holding on the side of your head is alive and about to bite off your ear.
