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:

The third step is where you're failing. They said you talk a lot, not that you need to stop talking. Whenever someone says this, just take a breath, say something like "sorry, I'm really excited about this topic", and then leave them a chamce to respond. Silence is ok, you don't need to fill the void.
