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:

"It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis."

Diane Nguyen put it perfectly:

I guess I had my happy ending, but every happy ending has the day after the happy ending, and the day after that.

There's no single happily ever after because there's always more time, until you die. So just keep living as if you're already in it.

Absolutely. Don't wait until some future time to be happy. Find the enjoyment in what you have now.
