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:

are you seriously trying to tell me that Steven Universe is a paragon of a friendly fandom with no unpleasantness?

Steven fucking Universe, the fandom that bullied an artist into logging off life for making fanart of a character who was supposed to be fat and making them skinny, gets to stand there with the others and say "Starscream made cookies"?

Fighting is inescapable and to believe otherwise is to spend one's life running from a shadow.
