I share this with you because I suffer or have suffered from at least 4 of the following conditions yet I still find this hilarious. It is primarily included because of the memory part of the joke.
It is meant to make light of mental health issues because there is more chance of us being able to deal with this challenges if we are laughing and smiling than if we are sombre and serious. Yes it is serious if you, like me struggle with any of these. However being able to laugh about it is one way of dealing with it.
So if you are inclined to be offended, stop reading now and navigate away from this page.
