Welcome to the Mental Health Hotline
Yes yes it is an oldie.
I do not even know who to attribute this to.
Whilst I was at a client's home I noticed she had a copy of this handy.
She was embarressed that I noticed but it is a good little joke.
To make her feel better about being *outed* by a stray piece of paper I told her I was laughing because I saw myself in so many options.
Funny how mental health still has a stigma attached.
Should I apologise because I had a brain injury?
Should you apologise because you are diabetic?
Should anyone anywhere feel less of a person because of illness or injury?
bah society.

--and now, the paper in question;
------------------
WELCOME TO THE MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE!
If you are obsessive-compulsive Press 1 REPEATEDLY.
If you are co-dependant, ask someone to Press 2 for you.
If you have multiple personalities, Press 3-4-5-6.
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 # to press.
If you are manic-depressive, it doesn't matter which # you press; they are all wrong.
If you are anal-retentive, please continue holding.
