Money - would it solve your problems?

[Rocksandsand]

Yeah... Covering rent and basic living costs for a year or so while I sorted my head out, then maybe - just maybe - there would be a way out of this mess? I've been suicidal for so long though that it's hard to see any solution actually working though

 

[diyCTB]

Yes. Several millions to last for the rest of my life would make me reconsider CTB because I am unable to work and social security in my country do not recognize my illness.

 

[Final Escape]

It would alleviate financial hardship but it's hard to say wether it would solve my problems long term. I would have to become more financially literate to hold on to the money. I guess many people lose like lottery winnings because they never learned how to manage and change their habits and how they think about money. Probably relatives come out of the woodwork trying to get u to part with it or other people if they find out u now have money.

 

[Sooniwontbehuman]

No, i would probs just lay in bed until i eventually ctb-ed if i had enough money not to work. Which would be terrible for anyone to do.

 

[Thanatos]

Should've started a poll for short answers.
Anyway no it wouldnt at all, it would however secure a golden ticket to ctb

 

[transgenderfailure]

yes around 50k i think, i would be able to accelerate my transition process, which in turn would help me stay alive, cause i'd have a purpose, now it's just, if I want to recover, I am looking at years upon years of being a wage slave before i can even attempt to really work on the things i want to fix, which is not worth it

sry for long answer oops

 

[Darkhaven]

If it was enouth for me to buy a house and have food untill i die then yeah.
No need to work=No social interaction=No Anxiety; No Depression.

 

[Kikoo Loool]

Yes, 50 to 100 thousand euros would clear the debts my wife has taken. Then would only remain the divorce and my assurance that life is pointless.

 

[ScorpiusDragon]

No. Money would not take away my social anxiety or the fact I am ill-suited to live in this world. I suppose more people would want to pretend to be my friend if I were rich, but those are definitely not the kinds of friendships I want.

 

[ots]

No. I have enough to get by and more money wouldn't fix what's broke in my life.

 

[TAW122]

No, as most of my problems isn't directly rooted at money per se (a lot do, but still even with enough money, if there are things that just can't be bought, then I'll still suffer, just in a different way).

 

[PatKat]

Having money means I can get help and medications. I guess that helps in the long run?

Looking into VNS and ECT currently also which costs lol no help is free sadly :(

 

[mathieu]

Money would solve a lot of problems, I think. But not enough. I would still want to CTB.

 

[Tom9999]

Yes. $350,000 after taxes. That would pay off my debts, get my business up and running, and give me a year to get my grip back.

 

[Time_To_Die]

Yes, I would actually be very happy if I had plenty of money. My main concern is the fact that I am a burden on others; with money, this would no longer be the case. Anxiety and feelings of mistrust make it difficult for me to survive in a work environment so an infusion of cash would be the perfect antidote.

How much? I'm not sure. I feel like my vitality is proportional to my net worth. At $500k, I would probably be able to live without working but it would be a life of poverty. At $15 million my life would be awesome, I would just chill at the beach all day.

 

[SelfHatingAspie]

Probably not.

I've found that as soon as one of the factors contributing to my depression and/or anxiety is removed, the other ones just expand and fill the space where the old one was. My work was a contributing factor. Since I stopped working, I'm now finding myself more depressed about stuff like the state of my marriage and how I've effectively regressed because I can't mask my ASD anymore.

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'm fortunate enough to have insurance that covers me whilst I am unfit to work. Should my medical professionals deem my condition to be so severe that I am unlikely to ever work again, I would receive a payout which would enough to clear all my debts and leave me with about $500k in the bank but no more ongoing income. Sounds great, but tbh I'd rather be a fully functioning member of society that's slowly paying off their mortgage than being clinically depressed but with a house fully paid for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ericwilkinson]

Yes it would. At the moment I need €14 to refill my anti-psychotic meds but I don't have a job and both my parents are abroad until October leaving me with money.

 

[paul29]

At the moment I need €14 to refill my anti-psychotic meds...

€14? Really?
PM me your address
I'll send you a cheque.

The bigger asks / needs will have to wait a bit.

 

[stellabelle]

No

Yes.
200k
Should keep me alive until retirement age.

nah caz you'd share it wiff me

 

[cowbain]

Yes, any amount. But if I'm being ideal 220k.
I'd be able to move out and leave my abusive family, I could provide for myself and my bunny, take the appropriate time to get good treatment for my mental illnesses and to heal from trauma, buy a car, and start up my freelance writing business.

I think I'd still have issues because even people who aren't ctb do but at least with money I wouldn't be this bad off lol.

 

[clownangel]

Mostly, yes. I have no "real" grasp on what things cost so I have no idea on the amount pst saying "enough to never worry about it".

I'd still be sick, but I could afford better doctors/treatment. The pressure from not being able to work would be gone. Choosing between food that meets all of my dietary restrictions or food I can afford large amounts of wouldn't matter. I could sink time into my hobbies, travel with the right accommodations, whatever. Wouldn't fix my brain, but dealing with it and my own limitations would suck a whole lot less.

 

[Aonewayticketplease]

Yes, don't have a figure in mind but enough not to have to worry about it running out in the future would help.

Another annoyance for me is living in a pet free flat, I would like to be able to buy a house with a garden in a decent area where I could have an animal.

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

Maybe?
It could, hypothetically. We're talking about funding a brain surgery (two, technically) on the spot, and bribing a neurosurgeon into a "fuck this! Live or die, I don't care!" state of mind.
As to how much... "A lot" I hope, is satisfactory. Neurosomethings are expensive af without insurance.

 

[jayfox]

Yes it would change everything. Maybe 50k would be enough..

Im very sick and im poor , cant afford the treatments , last time I was with friends was 10 years ago , im housebound for the last 7 years, no friends , just pain 24/7.

years of being sick took its toll on my appearance, I loook like a corpse..My dad is 77 years old and does more than me, im 37..

Family is awfull , mother gave me ptsd, brother earns a ton of money , doesnt care , said he wouldnt give me a dime..

I have CFS/ ME , and fibromialgia. Not dead yet but barely living, still haven't gave up though..

If I was healthy I'd be the happiest person for sure..

Ty for reading

 

[Freetodie]

Maybe, given that my depression was caused by my narcissistic father who complained about not having enough money and taking out his anger on me. Personally, it would help me finally move out and do things I've never done before(traveling for example), maybe then I'd find a reason to live.

 

[Chantal]

In the past, yes. Today, nothing can solve my problems.

 

[Sweet emotion]

No because I have a physical ailment that can't be treated or cured. I mean it would be nice to have money. It would definitely make things easier and less stressful but it wouldn't fix the problem.

 

[Élégie]

No, but it would make life a lot easier... It would allow me to delay CTB for a couple years and enjoy the few pleasures I have left.

 

[Luchs]

Just interested in "yes" or "no".
If "yes", the amount, and why.
No additional details.

Context: If my previously-discussed venture (Cfusion.ca) hits and I become wealthy again, I'd love to pilot a treatment program that clears debts and offers support, financial and otherwise, in exchange for commitment to some sort of a customized path forward.

Yes
About 200€
The price of a cheap Glock.

 

[dandan]

No.
No matter what, no money would help my balls to create and release more testosterone.
Which I'm using every week for the past 13 weeks and that did solved my problem. Plus hitting the gym everyday, plus Dianabol.
I'm confident, im cool now, with a horrible past, suicide attempts and ECT therapy and scars...

another point of view...
No. Yes, money would help me pursue my desires, my life, by eliminating money problems......
but not the problems inside my mind or my will or my soul, or problems within my own self
