I don't think this is mocking the mentally ill, but rather the 2 recent posts tying mental illness to charismatics and/or Cessationists. Since some have posted here with actual mental illness, and they weren't offended, I guess they got the joke! Especially with the options offered in the poll.
The typing one really got me! Of course right now I am mostly one fingering it on my Ipad, with autocorrect turned off. I want to see the actual mistakes, not the autocorrect mistakes version! I look at old recent posts, and see all the mistakes I didn't catch. New external keboard is supposed to arrive in a week or two. (Tried to hook up the old one again, after it dried out from spilling tea on it, and the keyboard hooked in, I lost the internal keyboard, but it wouldn't type! The new keyboard is covered, hoping to avoid this issue the third time!)
Wait... we were talking about what?? My obession with keyboards is truly getting out of hand! I wonder if there is medication for this, or if the new keyboard is the cure?

this response is a summation of 'total FEAR'...we 'both' know this from experience...
as we grow in Christ, our 'fears' do start to slowly diminish'...have Faith and Hope always in our Saviour...
there's just not other way...
always try and realize that when we feel the most weak, that the 'wily-one' is trying to lead us astray,
but this is where our real 'relationship with Christ becomes apparent, and will give us the strength and
power to 'over-come' this 'test and trial' of our FAITH...

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was still a little baby. However, it's very mild now, because I got the appropriate therapy and treatment fast. I didn't even know I had it until my father told me several years after the diagnosis (I was living in Hong Kong at the time). That was probably the reason why I OBSESSED over the topic of dinosaurs, and dinosaurs alone, for SIX YEARS!!! (Betcha didn't know that 
)My Asperger's Syndrome is now not very noticeable, besides, you know, kinda lacking in social skills and remembering details about certain things that nobody really cares about anymore, sometimes for months or years at a time.

Question is ' what is normal' ya know they tried to lock up Jesus too. Even his own mother had her doubts. And as for this world evaluation who tell us were to fat, thin, not pretty enough, not had some enough. This is good this is bad ECT ECT.....
How wonderfully made was said by the lips of a man who killed his best friend and knocked up his wife. Solomon the most wisest man that ever lived had how many wives? A divorce lawyer dream. Elijah killed how many false prophets then hid himself from some chick.
Adam in paradise with a naked made to order women chooses to do the one thing he was told not to.
John the Baptist....camel hair suit...eating locust...what's not right with this picture? How many times have the docs heard of the talking animal story? Sarah...nothing better to do than spit out a kid at 100 yrs old. Jacob going as far as to put fur on his arms to trick his dad. Samuel heard voices. Peter thought he could walk on water. John writing down the visions he had while locked up on a island....and we still can't figure them out..lol.
Saints I think we're in good company.....were dirty rotten smelly sinners but our God says we're beautiful, perfect, the apple of his eye. Now you go tell God to take a couch...or a pill.....or both....I'll wait here.
Im not making light of any mental illness on any level. May the Lord comfort and heal all who are afflicted. Always remember we are his handy work created for a special purpose. And our creator makes no mistakes.

I have dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, depression and OCD. I once thought I was condemned to hell. I have had thoughts of what if the rapture took place already and I am still here, on more than one occasion. I don't consider myself depressed anymore. I like to sing of God's mercy toward me and praise him in song. I don't usually have panic attacks now, but still experience anxiety sometimes. Sometimes the anxiety is due to needing to eat. Once it was just there and I did not know why. It subsided with time.
You are not alone. In my younger days I had panic attacks that would wake me up in the middle of the night and I would pace like a caged animal thinking I was going to die. Had severe depression at age 40 attempting suicide. Thank God I did not succeed. He has blessed me with an additional 22 years so far and I'm thankful to be alive.
Mental issues are real to be sure and treatment is available which I recommend when it is needed.
I have totally enjoyed this thread because if we can't laugh at ourselves then who do we laugh at?
