What’s the worst/best mental health advice you’ve ever gotten? #Shorts #StandUpComedy #Netflix #Joke

[CJ-yhbm]

" It will pAsS "
That was my favorite line this is so relatable

[madelinecarr]

“Dad I think I have anxiety”
“Then don’t worry” good lord 😂

[erenender]

"it's all in your head" yes mom, I KNOW THAT

[sg-yokp]

It's the thousand mile stare that gets me

[recoveringcatholic]

“My OCD compulsions are really bad, I can’t stop.” “Just stop.”

[fallenangeldraco]

When she said they were religious, I was expecting a different reaction to "I'm depressed" than "get a spoonful of peanut butter"

[zoeyclarks]

My conservative religious dad was really proud of me when I went to go seek counseling after some major family drama. Especially when I told him I'm doing this to help the family who currently can't get free counseling like I can from my college.

"Dad I've been really stressed."
"Thats just stupid. You're too young to even know what that means."
"... ok."
*4 years later *
"Why don't you ever come to me?"
"Cause you call it stupid."
"I've never done that."
"Mh hm ok."

[HappinessTheBrand]

"Dad I'm having suicide thoughts"
"How could u do that to me?"

🙂 huh?

[lizzistorm]

Omg the visualization of the dad's "clinging to a jar of chunky jiffy like its the answer" was a little too real 🤣😅

[strawberryjlly]

Wasn’t allowed to show any other emotion besides happy so if I were crying in front of my dad the conversation usually was, “Dry it up or I’ll give you something to cry about.”

A lot of being alone and wishing I could die went on in my early teens. I’ll never forgive my dad for the way he treated me and my mom, all the panic attacks I had by myself in the bathroom and not understanding them, being laughed at after getting my period after thinking I was legit dying.

All the agony after being yelled at and threatened bc I simply asked for a therapist.

It’s not okay, I don’t get emotions that well, I can’t physically react to others crying or being hurt. I feel like I’m not human...and yeah joking abt your trauma is fun and all until you really sit and think, “Man I’m fuck!ng damaged.”

[easybakeoven]

i got the “Itll lay down, just dont think about it” 💀

[ramisamaliyat]

I am very lucky to have conservative, religious parents who also cared a lot about mental health. Ameen

[hazellevesque]

I've got a conservative dad and he's great about that stuff. He's never dealt with anxiety like I have, and he had a tough childhood so he never really learned to deal with silly things like negative emotions, but he's been trying really hard for me. He doesn't necessarily understand how spilling a glass of water could make me have a panic attack, but he does his best to help me through them

[samuelzepeda]

One time I told my dad that I was sad, like sad sad but not depressed. So we kind of had of argument about it and he had the FUCKING audacity to say “just stop being sad, pretend like you just turn it off like a switch.” and his advice help by making me realize that he fucking sucks so i stoped giving a shit about what he says

[izthistle]

When I was in youth group a few years ago, there’s a girl with anxiety, and she told others about it too. One time, one of the kids said people with anxiety, depression etc. just don’t have enough faith in god. I stopped going to the youth group and church in general very soon after that

[greasybiggreenguy]

yea, my mom told my dad about my first mental hospital visit considering I was abt to kms.
all he pretty much said was "okay"
and he wonders why I don't live with or speak to him😭

[resdentcync]

That's my dad, and he's not even conservative. He's practically socialist. I told him I thought I was depressed and he said "You just need to exercise more."

EDIT: To clarify this because people aren't understanding, this conversation between my dad and I took place when I was extremely active and in very good shape. I was still struggling with depression and was trying to get him to understand that I needed therapy or medication. This conversation happened when I was 14, I'm now 23, and I still struggle with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. On top of that I have ADHD, and treatment for ADHD in particular exacerbates my anxiety as I take a stimulant.
This comment also stands to illustrate that political ideology doesn't equate to understanding or even acceptance of mental health issues.

[TheGoosebumpsGirl]

I was depressed and told my mom I wanted to end my life and had for a few years at that point. My dad came to me and said “so your mom tells me you’ve been feeling sad lately”. That’s where the conversation started and ended, I moved in with him (different town and school, that helped my mental health hugely but not enough) and when I told him I wanted therapy “But you moved here, you’re supposed to be happy now”

[smolbean]

Told my parents that I think I have depression and social anxiety and they deadass asked me if I was gay when I said no they sighed because they were relieved and didn’t bother about my mental health 💀
