when things get too real for me_irl

For relatable posts that are too real for !me_irl. Meaning jokes/posts about mental health issues and self deprecating humour.

This is a subreddit for memes that hit too close to home or are too real for communities like !me_irl

If you have depression, talk to a therapist, it really does help. You are not alone, and recovery is possible and worth it.

If you find jokes about suicide, depression or self harm upsetting, this sub might not be the right place for you. This is a place for people who use self deprecating humor as a coping mechanism, not for those making fun of mental illness.

With that out of the way, the rules are as follows:

Sometimes it helps to unload on a stranger. If you want to talk/vent/rage to someone, I'll be here. Feel free to DM

Don’t you put that blame on yourself. Life really really sucks sometimes. It’s okay to feel sad, don’t make it worse than it has to be by thinking things could ever be different than they are.

Go through the motions but keep an eye out for opportunities to feel something positive.

I figured out I really feel at peace in the woods. If I’m feeling down I go there and walk around or sit or whatever.

Find your woods.
