Edit: Apparently this community is too mentally healthy/sound to even recognize this meme lol
Count yourselves lucky.
I don't get it.
Those are grippy socks. They're often given to patients when they're admitted to hospital. Over the past few years they've become synonymous with being admitted to a mental health ward.
The meme is saying that they're afraid of being honest to their therapist because their therapist might admit them to a psych ward against their will.
Psych Ward Socks | Know Your Meme. A version of the meme I posted is even used in there as an example, funnily enough.
Never heard or seen this. Where did that get synonymous?
It's a usa thing. Their psychiatric wards apparently also provide like actual therapy and psychiatric help too, from what I've read.
I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in the UK, psychiatric wards are filthy holding pens run by the dregs of the nhs. And you get no help, just held till they arbitrarily decide if you're 'safe to be released' or not. You don't get socks here, you get ptsd.
Inpatient psych wards are kind of all over the place in the US. However, as someone in the American medical field, I can confirm the grippy socks are definitely a thing.
Generally speaking, inpatient psych facilities here are also filthy, underfunded holding pens run by the dregs of the medical community. Not all, and a lot of people.over here get into medicine specifically for psych but they're outnumbered by the burnt out shitbirds who are just collecting a paycheck. You also get no/the wrong help here and they hold you for a minimum 72 hrs or until you're no longer "a threat to yourself/others". It's often traumatic and life ruining because not only aren't you helped, you're thrown out on the street in debt and possibly out of a job because you missed 3 days of work, making your life measurably worse at the end than it was at the beginning of your admission
No idea when it picked up, but my younger sibling refers to them as "grippy sock vacations"
bruh in my country they offer those at trampoline parks ๐
Same in Canada. They also glow under black light, because the entire park goes dark on certain days and hours
Lmao yeah, they mean I have to take my kids to one of those
Was about to say that I have 1.5 pairs at home
They do that in the US, too.
Ooooohhh i see, thanks for clarifying :)
And yes, i would never be 100% honest to my therapist about what goes on in the back of my head. ๐ง ๐
I didn't know, we just had to bring our own socks and crocs. Was funnier that way tho, one kid had mouse shoes larger than his legs.
Those are the free socks you get when arriving at the funny farm.
They take away your shoes and give you grippy socks like that when you go to a mental hospital.
Count me in and I went to therapy.
