Welcome to your new carrier in risk management.
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.
The tricky part is the hustle. Figuring out a way to manipulate people into purchasing our goods and services.
Try this:
"ANXIETY SALE! HALF PRICE!"
People might like the idea of cutting anxiety in half somehow ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Just don't tell them it's only for your benefit, not theirs.
Make others share your anxieties and sell them insurances
Social interaction insurance. If you mess up a conversation uhh you get a refund? I think this only works for social anxiety when you can't get yourself to say something that would save you money.
Get a job in cable news.
But don't, actually. Getting a job necessitates a job interview, which is a high stakes conversation that will give you a panic attack.
Instead, get comfortable at your current, toxic job that doesn't meet your needs. Better the devil you know than a whole new scary job and application process.
Duckduckgo nice
In this thread: a surprising number of folks who have given serious thought to monetizing anxiety.
Cept for the first hit
