I'm looking for an acrynm or riddle to share with a church group when I give my talk on mental health.?

Question

'Know of a very funny "mental health" joke or something?

A large church group (it will be women and men) asked me to give a twenty-minute talk...sharing my experience with my mental illness. (I'm bipolar, but it will be on mental health in general.) Obviously it can't be insulting, but needs to help focus them on the important things I want to share, following the opening. I just want to relax them up a bit ... help get past some of the outdated stigmas associated with mental illness.

Any other tips or thoughts on this???

Thanks for your thoughts and time!

Answer 1

Ok...here goes...

What lies on the bottom of the ocean and twitches?
A. A nervous wreck

What kind of coffee did they serve on the Titanic?
A. Sanka

"Sometimes, you can feel like a wreck, and your life is one big disaster. Well, I'm here to tell you tonight, that there's hope -- there's hope for all of us to live happy lives, and to give something back to our families, and our communities...."

or this as another joke....

Two mischevious brothers had played their last prank. Their exasperated mother spoke to the priest -- would he please have a talk with them, and try to settle them down?

The younger brother, about 7 years old, went to the priest's home, to have a talk first. The priest sat in his study, behind a large imposing desk. The little boy was nervous.

They stared at each other in silence for a few minutes. Finally, the priest cleared his throat. "Timmy," he said, in his most solemn tone, "do you know where God is?"

The little boy looked around the room for clues, and then shrugged his shoulders.

The priest asked again, this time a little louder, and more deeply, "Do you KNOW where God IS?"

Again, the little boy nervously looked around, and said nothing.

Finally, the priest said, "Do YOU know WHERE God is?!"

Without a word, the scared boy scampered out of the house, and ran all the way home. He went to his older brother in his room.

"Uh-ohhhh. We're in biiiiiiiiig trouble!!"
"Why? What happened?"
"They've lost God, and they think WE did it!"


Best of luck to you. Standing up and giving a talk is not so easy! Keep your eye on the prize! And, if you get really nervous as you walk to the front of the room, say to yourself "God is Good...and so am I!"

Answer 2

I was visiting my brother, who runs a mental health clinic. He was showing me around when we came upon a guy hanging from the ceiling. My brother explained this patient was convinced he was a light bulb. He called an orderly who helped him "unscrew" the patient and they led him away.

I noticed the janitor started leaving, but he hadn't finished cleaning up the hallway. When I asked him where he was going, he said, "I'm leaving. I can't be expected to work in the dark!"

A "comedian tale" won't be the excellent issues to do. it could alienate your objective audience with the aid of fact psychological ailment is misunderstood and there remains a stigma related to it. As Jesus healed lepers, the blind, and many different actual illnesses, He can help with an ailment interior the top. between the disciples become a physician, so drugs is respected.
