Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Sometimes, however, and I speak from experience, a person is avoiding the words associated with what happened ("trauma" for example) in order to hide from the reality that what happened was terrible.

Minimizing language can be a coping mechanism, and like all coping mechanisms, there's room in there for it to be harmful.

Other times yeah, fuck off, doctor. It's my life, I'll call stuff what I want. If I wanna call my depression The Big Sad that's what I'm gonna fuckin do. (The difference being I'm very aware that The Big Sad could end my life if I don't manage it, and I know exactly how to manage it.)
