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:

Yeah, it is a problem on both ends. If you get too far on the jade end, you acknowledge the problems, sure, but you lose all motivation to do anything about them because you believe it's already too late.

And then there are people who switch between both types. I think in professional language they call it 'rollercoaster personality' /s
