Discussion As a depressed / suicidal person, if you could have anything in the world to help with your recovery, what would that be?

[sickbeyondmeasure]

A cure for my disease.

A romantic partner would save my life. Not having one (with few prospects of getting one in the future) is one of the main reasons I want to ctb. If I had somebody to share my life with right now, I'd probably have a remission of suicidal thoughts at least for the time being.

If not a romantic partner, a cure for fucking tinnitus. My other reason for ctb.

i just wish i were able to afford therapy and medication. medication is going to be trial and error but i at least want a professional to talk to. i don't have insurance so it's especially difficult to get therapy now. i thought about admitting myself to a mental hospital to get the help that i need, but i don't want to lose my job or family/friends over it.

antidepressants that work, a healthy body, money, a time machine, a new mom, a do-over

Hope. Actual pure, real, hope. Not the kind of hope I have to fake to everyone, including myself.

 

[psp3000]

a friend or a romantic partner, someone who's honest and makes me feel seen and heard and doesn't just want to use me or just have me around just as a last resort or abandons me all the time

also a cat and money and not having the fear that something bad is going to happen every time I have a streak of good days and the ability to forget whatever memories I want to forget

and being able to start from the beginning again but as an entirely different person where I can exist and pursue things I no longer enjoy or do and live my life out the way I want without anyone or anything getting in the way or stopping me because almost everything I used to or try to enjoy now isn't enjoyable because they just feel like distractions rather than hobbies or fun activities

 

[unnormal9]

money to die easier.

 

[Regen]

Money.

I could buy help for every parts of my life.

Freedom, it’s the only thing worth aspiring to. Money won’t solve many problems. A romantic partner will create more trouble than it addresses. Meaning is not worth seeking, because one can never find it. But if you have freedom you don’t need anything else, and freedom includes the freedom of CTB if things go wrong. So peaceful.

 

[SpiderLink]

The only thing I want to be free from my suffering

 

[Sweet Tart]

Such an interesting question. Enough money to not have my life decisions guided by need. Stuff to do that gives my life meaning or peace more days than not. Finding a way for my life to not revolve around my eating disorder. My cat, who is already doing everything she can.
