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:
-
Asking for upvotes/downvotes will get you banned. And any other vote related bullshit for that matter.
-
Posts MUST be in some way "too real" or hit to close to home. If it doesn't make you laugh and feel sad at the same time, don't post it here. Posts that do not fit the sub may be removed.
-
Being edgy doesn't make a post good. Post content that you find a bit too relatable, not something making fun of people with depression.
-
Posts should be titled 2meirl4meirl or some variation, but other titles are fine for ~~shitposts~~ self posts.
-
Be supportive. Most people here are going through something, and sometimes all it takes to improve a shitty day is just a little kindness from an Internet stranger.
-
Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, any other form of discrimination and general dickishness will not be tolerated.
-
Mark NSFW content as such. And please don't post NSFL content.
-
Reposts are allowed, but discouraged
-
Don't link to an image if it won't be there permanently. Basically, just don't link to files hosted on 4chan.
-
Again, please don't be an asshole.

Hard disagree here. I don't like dying from cholera, measles, and smallpox nor would I enjoy working sunrise to sunset on a farm.
Not having to have 20 children because 10 die as babies and the other 10 are your only means of retirement is also a big plus
It's just too bad the industrial revolution lead to capitalism overdrive. That would have been a great historical inflection point to switch over to socialism. I mean people tried, but they got murdered.
Oh yeah I'm not an anarcho-primitivist or an outright Kaczynski fan, but I honestly do think he had some really good points about the condition we find ourselves in. Of course he was slightly bonkers, and eg. the whole "I'll fix things by murdering computer scientists" thing maybe wasn't his best idea, and his definition of freedom was pretty strict – I don't think that eg. stopping at a red traffic light robs me of essential freedoms.
I'm big into degrowth though – so while I don't want to totally dismantle all technological development since the wheel, I think it's clear that we humans and the planet can't handle the current mass-scale industrial information society and we need to pretty radically scale down our resource use and a lot of our current comforts if we want to avoid completely fucking our ecosystem.
Here is a pretty good article on degrowth anarchism, in case anybody's interested. Definitely worth reading even if you don't agree with any of it
