Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
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.
-
Respect one another.
-
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.
-
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.

Ugh, it's called world-building, it's entertainment.
I feel like great dreams are the reward for everything else.
Just curious: do some of you have days where your fake scenarios are vivid and enjoyable and then some days where you're just forcing it but the imagery/focus is just not there

Yeah 100%. I've been having more of the latter since getting sober - I think it's just mental fatigue.
I have had entire days where I imagine positive fake scenarios. And others were, yeah, I imagine sad things and bad things. The negative scenarios are typically brief, like intrusive thoughts expanded into little “what ifs”. The happy scenarios can go all day either in between responsibilities, before bed, or just rotting on the sofa on a Saturday. Like little movies I escape into. That’s not to say any of them make me feel good, they just are.
And yeah some days I deliberately seek it to escape.

I think of them as simulations, emotionally prepping for something sad or disappointing, so if/when it does happen you've already like microdosed on the grief so you don't fall apart. Like OK it happened, dad's dead, need to check with siblings, schedule regular mom visits, adjust budget, and reconsider therapy...
it's useful to have a loose "script" to follow, especially around grief.
