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:

What's the downside of flight? Flight sounds awesome. Is walking no longer an option or something?

[–] Linssiili@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Oh not that kind of flight, it's fight or flight type of a thing. So whenever anything scary happens, the only thing one can do is run away.

See a big scary dog? Run away. Partner injures themselves? Run away. Have to attend an important meeting? Believe it or not, run away.

Flight you can't control (Charlotte and the chocolate factory style)

Fine as long as I can kill myself.

No, it instantly kills opponents, so it will kill your depression and self-loathing.

Monkey Paw Deal: you have no control over it. As soon as you start to view someone as your opponent in any way, they immediately die.

Irl liquor actually does/can give you poison breath, courage, feeling relaxed, instant death, and flight (once)

That weird pod thing in the middle has been next to the ring road in Manchester for over a decade now.
