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:

I once got a fortune in a cookie that read "The future is in your hands."

The future. In my hands.

So, blame me.

It's ok, they just hadn't gotten to the "Stick with your wife" barrel yet.

me, age 22 (young, naive, unsure): probably nothing good will ever happen

Then only constant in life is chaos. Learn to embrace it and be free.

Ironically, the OP was still 22 when they tweeted this.
