If you were rich would you still be suicidal?

[jisatsu88]

I think with money I could reach out for help a lot easier.

 

[3rdworldsadness]

If I had lots of money I would be in less torment. Like enough to escape my country and starting a new life in other nation then yes I wouldn't feel just jump to my death.

 

[Quietist]

"If you were rich would you still be suicidal?"

Absolutely not, because the financial security and abundance would afford me to live the lifestyle I wanted without having to be concerned about future homelessness, paying for any therapy or medical treatments, and I could live in comfortable solitude spending all of my time on my hobbies rather than a soul-sucking job.

No more having to live with an angry, elderly parent who enables domestic violence within the home.

No more having to worry about getting my life together because I could do whatever and go wherever the fuck I wanted to.

 

[hdead]

I'm what you would consider rich. I have plenty of money but stricken by loneliness and MH problems. No amount of money can bring me the tranquillity and peace of mind I so desire.

I made mistakes, though. I could have saught help more actively, if only I knew I needed it. I lack autonomy and capacity to deal with modern life. I got bored of being a slave and jumped the ship. It's what pushed me over the edge from being depressed and numb to becoming actively suicidal.

 

[Le temps perdu]

If I were rich, although it wouldn't solve all of my pain, I would be willing to give life a try. After trying, there's a possibility that I might change my mind.

The important thing is that with a lot of money, I might have the opportunity to go abroad — whether it's for traveling or something else.

 

[Carrot]

Yes, I would. I'd probably indulge in cheap addictions and die at some point.

The lack of empathy in the world bothers me. I hate the "I got mine, fuck you" mentality. Money would not bring me happiness, it would, of course, make it less miserable and not having to do pointless/unfulfilling work would be a huge plus, but there would still be so much evil in the world that I would not be able to fix or ignore, which would cause me pain.

I would love to do something fulfilling, selfless in life. But I realized that there are tons of evil people with absolutely no morality that turn people against each other while benefiting from that, I don't want to be part of humanity and I gave up/don't want to try to fix this when the odds are against me.

Money can't cure autism, so no.

 

[Casoperso]

The only thing money will do is to delay my CTB date for a few years

Same

 

[Hollowman]

Yes

 

[Forveleth]

I have good amounts of money right now and I am still suicidal so more money would do absolutely nothing for me.

 

[Wojaczek]

yes, not sure how 1 million dollars would change anything tbh.

 

[red_cardinal]

Certainly. I've always had reasonable, decent financial resources available for my health, but it really didn't help my situation much. And my issues are primarily health-related, so the most I could do is go to even more specialists outside the country, which I don't think would change much. Maybe I'd keep busier by traveling more often, changing environments, distracting, but I'm sure it wouldn't last too long, as I'd get mentally and physically exhausted, bored, and I'd inevitably feel the emptiness, the void tormenting me. Money can't fill the absence of care, love, support I should've received during my formative years.

 

[FuneralCry]

I'd just never want to exist no matter what, for me the true problem is existence itself and I find it the most terrible, torturous and dreadful burden to suffer in this existence. All that existence ever does is just torture existing beings with no limit as to how much agony one can feel and I'll just always see it as an abomination to suffer in this existence that there was never a need for at all.

All I want is to be permanently unconscious free from all pain and suffering, for me non-existence is just all that's positive, I'll just always find it so torturous to exist, I find it so deeply undesirable to exist in every way, I find it so dreadful and horrible how the suffering of existing can continue for decades longer just for one to face the terrible agony of old age, for me non-existence truly is all that could ever be positive for me.

 

[Mrs. T-800]

I am an heiress and I am suicidal since age 12.

 

[AuraByte]

Maybe?

But at least I would have the option and freedom to disappear and have some peace.

 

[thelostautistic]

I think so. Money can't fix my main issue.

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

Money cannot solve the reason why I'm here.

 

[Lost Magic]

Money can't fix me. I'm too far gone to be fixed by financial wealth, but I wouldn't say no to it either tbh

 

[burninghill]

Yes. I'm lucky to have never really struggled with money, never solved anything

 

[volo]

No money can fix my physical and mental health problems. Unfortunately.

 

[DoomsdayCTB]

Nope. Money is the exact reason why I can't afford to live right now or get away from this Narc household. If I was a multi-millionaire, despite being bipolar, I'm very well read and able to self-monitor my episodes (which are rare thank "whoever"). Get a big, quiet hope in Europe/islands. Fresh, organic food. All the best medical care I can afford. if someone like Selena Gomez doesn't make it, then I will know the real answer.

 

[momentomori00]

I'm relatively well off and still very much suicidal. It's because I lacked the ability to ask for help when I needed it, and unfortunately mum was always working so she never saw the signs that something was awry. I was also pretty gifted academically so no one really bothered to look deeper, even when I was actively ruining my life lol (always high, skipping school, around the worst crowds, etc etc).
Financial stability does help a lot, in terms of resources you can access and such, but it can only do so once you've got the emotional support you need and once you're able to ask for help.

 

[name2come]

If I was rich, I would still be depressed and my life still might end with suicide, but I don't think I would be actively planning it. I could leave an unhappy relationship. I wouldn't have to worry about work or how I never really established a career. I could just float through life and see how far it gets me. I don't know that I could make it long term, but I could make it longer.

 

[ivathantri]

yes

 

[hurts2b]

No. Money is the cure to shit life syndrome. If I won the lottery I wouldn't need or want to die anymore.

 

[EndlessRage]

I think with money I could reach out for help a lot easier.

I have money. I feel suicidal everyday.

 

[sla_porra22]

If I were rich, I would probably save some of the money for my family to live comfortably, and donate the rest to people in need before killing myself. I mean, I'm really not attached to material possessions. I think that's the least of my worries in life. The only joy that money would bring me is knowing that I could kill myself much more easily

 

[fadedghost]

yes

I think the financial issue is a huge mental trap, actually. The lack of it leads you to want to kill yourself, and an excess of it distances you further and further from real connections with people and it creates a great feeling of emptiness after a while (at least that's what I hear a lot from people who have a lot of money). People tend to believe that money is the solution to everything, and while it can certainly help A LOT, it's still far from being the solution to everything. Our minds often sabotage us; we'll always find something else to feel bad about
