So I meet with a therapist on a weekly basis. We talk about my depression and how it's been getting worse. Recently, I've been advised about my condition, and how I've been discussing with her about being suicidal. She's been very helpful throughout it. I was even told I can pay in advance from now on, so I don't have to worry about it later.
Paying in Advance
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
The humor comes from the darkly ironic twist of a therapist being so confident in their patient's future (or lack thereof) that they're offering a 'pay in advance' option, suggesting a potentially bleak outlook while keeping the tone light with the implication of not worrying about paying because you'll be gone. It's a cynical take on the situation, using dark humor to emphasize the severity of the character's suicidal thoughts and the therapist's nonchalance about it.
For Feck's Sake
Loved the punchline! :)
