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

[anathemaa]

A romantic partner that I have a flawless relationship with, lots of friendships that are also flawless and money.

 

[Krieger]

A stable relationship.

 

[Absolute Chips]

Just a friend who can actually understands my situation, not someone who only look at the surface and judge the person by it's cover or a person that doesn't even trying to understand my problems (yeah I'm venting a little bit here)

 

[leeloosnow]

money. a lot of fukin money, and ill just rescue animals till im too old/crazy then ill ctb anyways. if i had like, crazy amts of $ and could just do good shit for others, yeah. that'd keep me busy for a while.

 

[leloyon]

A new life. To be a different person living a different life altogether.
I cannot be happy as I am.

 

[moya117]

Why wouldn't it be possible?

Idk, I found out that in my entire life, people love me CONDITIONALLY, I just don't want to get my hopes too high, maybe because I'm not worth it? Idk, they betrayed me first

 

[nolifezzz]

to lose all my memories & be reborn as somebody else...

 

[Artictart]

A home far away from the place I live now, preferably with a close friend and a cat. A stable way of income as well of course.

 

[Housefly]

I thought about it and honestly it's just me, I'm the odd one. Maybe if every fortnight I get 4 days to recover from society. I could learn to knit, cook more, travel maybe. Just me and the echo of my brain. Very controlled stimulation. Nothing scary or unpredictable, even if it's unpleasant just I need to know before in detail. If everything has a detailed manual because I'm dumb.

 

[deathLiberation]

Money.
And not even that much.

1 million, or 500k, heck even 200k
that would change everything

This is o much the way. I feel like a ton of people here, me included, would do so much good with a huge amount of money.
But money is all in hands of freakin elite pedos

Sounds like you've had bad luck with your relationships. I don't think unconditional love is possible, but finding someone who is patient, understanding and like-minded could potentially be life-changing. Money would be great too.

 

[Slipkorn]

Pain. Constant pain. If I wasn't hurting all the time, I might not want to.

 

[jorheslen428]

Money and drugs.

 

[sheleftme1]

I just want her back…

 

[Shivali]

Peace of mind ... a loving feeling in my heart.... I have had to be a completely different person

 

[TheBigBurden]

Not have a ton of autistic sensory issues, and constant anxiety because of it. I would probably be able to flourish if I wasn't in constant burnout.

 

[Vizzy]

Ctb!

 

[Heavenbound]

For me personally, I would have to say being in a committed relationship with a partner that truly loved me for me, flaws and all, I think that would take away 90% of my desire to end it all. That's not to say it's going to cure me, but it certainly would improve my life drastically.

 

[WokenDier]

Money.

trust me, money doesn't cure depression.

 

[Abyssopelagic]

Housing, financial, and medical security. That peace of mind, I think, would 1) alleviate a major source of anxiety and 2) give me leeway in being able to pursue things that at least have a chance of giving me joy and reasons to live. Hobbies, friends, romantic relationships, things I could pour myself into which could hopefully break me out of my apathy/anhedonia.

If I have to pick one, though, I'd say financial security. Stable housing and medical care can't be guaranteed by cash, but it would still be a comfort to know I could afford a new place or afford to find necessary medical care from other places if things fell through. Won't solve all my problems, but it'd lay the foundations for actually being able to focus on searching for happiness.

 

[myusername]

Having my children back with me (they have been kidnapped by their father 2 years ago) would perhaps cure me from my severe depression, but having a kind hearted partner and/or having a child would certainly help as well. I live by myself and it's really painful.

 

[Vizzy]

trust me, money doesn't cure depression.

Trusting no one

Money ——> happiness——-> cure depression

Money———-> happiness————> you can go see the best doctor in the world to cure your mental illness

i have money, but not happy. and hate going to doctors.

 

[Vizzy]

You hate going to doctor so that your individual decision which doesn't mean money ———> happiness

If I have money everything will change for me!

 

[forever dreaming]

like 90% of the replies here. Moolah.

 

[BetweenRadioStations]

Regular biofeedback training with a professional

 

[Little_Suzy]

A new healthy brain that is impervious to mental disorders. That's all!



For those saying money:

Anhedonia prevents you from appreciating both the best things money can buy and the best things that are free. Your quality of life will remain "standing in quicksand."

Money will pay your expenses and provide you with security, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery or sleep as much as you like. A new, happy, healthy brain sounds fantastic!

 

[TeflonMummy]

The opportunity to be able to chase my dreams again.

 

[sickbeyondmeasure]

A cure for my disease.

 

[illmissmydogthatsit]

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.
