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.

I would imagine small spouts of depression would also help understand self worth and assist in overcoming obstacles.
not sure if usage I’ve never heard, or typo, or boneappletea for “bouts”
Think my brain just fabricated that use by mistake. Maybe a mix of spout as in a faucet, being a stream or leak, combined with what I assume my brain meant as a spurt as in short term. Short term leaky faucet of depression. < My brain is just falling apart
That's a really nice example to use as a terminology.
Is there a name for this practice? Of taking an example of something and making it the name of the genre? I found one - "Eponymous Representation", but it is not precise enough.
So are we taking "deep thought" and naming it depression nowadays?
No wonder everyone is being diagnosed and drugged for the disease of thoughtfulness.
I assume you meant thought, if so, no.
fixed.
Also, if it's not deep though, then how is it helping us do the above stuff?
If I need to know which way east is, I can look at the sun, look at a compass, check Google maps, or ask a friend. Just because one tool can assist does not mean they are all the exact same tool.
So, you mean that depression, in itself, is helping you do that?
I find it hard to believe. Care to explain the mechanism for how that happens without the thought part?
Oh trust me I don't want people to be depressed. I just mean that depression is a low that leaves you feeling a variety of dark things that you wont forget anytime soon. So sometimes when you survive through a depression, on the opposite of that, if you have gotten out, it can enlighten some things that may not be obvious to yourself previously. Kind of like a "I've got this" sense of thought. I was able to crawl my way out of the pit of despair, and somehow you know, I'm okay. If I can do that, surely I can host this conference. Or whatever it is you need to convince yourself you need to do. It isn't the best attitude I'm sure, but it's like the whole "I've been through worse" thought process, which leaves you with the knowledge you can get through a simple task, which was what I called knowing self worth above. Maybe not the most apt description of self worth, but I'm no doctor.
I see your point.
