Stock images trotted out by busy picture editors to illustrate pieces with a mental health angle, consisting of a person in lonely isolation typically with their head in their hands.
Such images reinforce a stereotypical view of how people living with mental ill-health should appear at all times (and if we don't, we must be fakers and shirkers) and that we are sad, hopeless cases beyond help.

Get the headmug. hed-geym Repeated childish and petty games played by a self loathing, miserable, piddly-ass bitch supervisor named Christina in an attempt at psychological one-upmanship, often employing passive–aggressive behavior in continuously failed attempts to demoralize or dis-empower the thinking subject while hoping to make the aggressor look superior. Often resorted to as a last ditch effort when subordinates fail to stoop to the same level. Many times these actions are performed by pathetic, emotional quadriplegics against intellectual Jedi’s. Usually the aggressor suffers from undiagnosed psychological problems accompanied by one of more physical rheumatology issues such as MS, where the body attacks itself in part due to the aggressors internal ugliness working itself outward.
