Mental Illness vs. The 'Just Make a Schedule' Advice
Dialogue
Overview
A meme featuring two lines of dialogue at the top: 'me: my mental illness makes it difficult to accomplish simple tasks' and 'irrelevant person: have you tried making a schedule?? 😊😊'. Below the text is a photograph of Ben Affleck, a real person, standing in front of a dark door. He is wearing a blue sweater, holding a cigarette in his right hand, with his left hand in his pocket, and has a tired, resigned expression. The meme humorously depicts the frustration of receiving simplistic, unhelpful advice when struggling with mental health issues, using Ben Affleck's weary demeanor to convey the emotional reaction to such advice.
Origin notes
The meme originates from Reddit (as indicated by the source 'Reddit:Meme'). It is a user-created remix, combining original overlaid text with an existing photograph of Ben Affleck, which is likely a paparazzi or promotional image repurposed for comedic effect. The creation method involves image editing software to add the dialogue text at the top of the photograph.
