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:

Starter dead. Battery insufficient to get it moving but will happily make horrible noises. Every warning signal alerted but no precise enough to actually identify the problem.

Yep.....this fits too well.

Usually this points to low voltage coming from the battery, and usually starts happening in cold weather. Bad news is you need a new battery. Good news is they're cheap to install and you get the core charge back.

Drink more coffee, you say?

I always think that when this happens the dash lights and the starter are the ECUs way of screaming. Just all those gates flopping back and forth completely out of sync it just signals everything.
