Discussion Do you know anyone who suicided over unemployment/work-related issues?

[nigelhernandez]

I'm looking for a job now and the mere process of job hunting makes me want to off myself but aside the other issues of life. And you know what's the worst part....I'm looking for minimum wage not any jobs that require skills!

I've sent 60 CV's last month and got either no reply or a rejection email.

 

[Midgardsorm]

I might.

I'm currently working on company as a tech support, however, one tiny mistake that I did, might get me fired.
Anxiety is consuming me now. If I get fired, I might just ctb.

 

[dysfunctional]

I almost did two years ago for exactly this reason. I got two job offers and took the wrong one, ending in disaster and the start of my bipolar depression. Its definitely part of whats messing me up now.

 

[krsu]

losing my job and my apartment is definitely a big part of why I'm going to ctb, it completely detailed any bit of hope I had in life, especially the way I lost my job was really fucked up and I wont ever forget it. It fucked up my relationship too.

 

[Huntfish34]

Currently have a job which is Ok.. but with my 2 fuckhead boss ' , a bully co-worker, little room for advancement,. .. on Top of my other bullshit . Mostly depression / anxiety. It will help me along the way to Ctb. Just a matter of time.

I ruined my career, and a good career was the only thing I ever wanted out of life. I can accept a lot of things that went wrong in my life: the failed relationships (both romantic and platonic), having had to rehome my little dog because I couldn't take care of him, a presumptive diagnosis of MS, regaining all the weight I had lost...but I cannot accept the demise of the career that I worked so hard for. Death is the only redemption for me now.

 

[Blueman]

Yes I can see me ctb due unemployment caused by taking a payoff I didn't need to last year doing some travel before looking for work 55 now am stuffed due to stupidity

 

[BPD Barbie]

It's part of the reason I plan to ctb. I lost my job in January and haven't been able to work since due to my health. Finding a job right now thanks to Covid and the recession in the UK is almost impossible.

 

[Blueman]

The worse thing is that I've even managed to land a few interviews but now I'm depressed and desperate I can't perform properly at this stage so getting a job does seem impossible

 

[GoodForNothing]

I found out yesterday that come November I will no longer be employed due to my unit being shut down due to various reasons, mainly financial and all this hysterical covid bull shit. Luckily for me I have good saving, well enough to last a few months but after that … I don't know.

Being from the uk there is some what of a safety net, but if you know anything of universal credit or job seekers allowance that it is not a pleasant place to end up. I've experienced it once when I came out of education when I was 18/19 from difficulty of finding employment. After that experience I made a promise to myself that I would never allow myself back in that place.

So fingers crossed I find at least something to bring in some money but there is always the possibility that it all goes south. So I'm currently thinking that if the time comes and when the last of my savings have gone I will be taking my leave and stepping in to the void.

A failed captain goes down with his ship haha.

I filled an online form in March for JSA got a brief phone call to check my ID and have been receiving £300 a month no questions asked, hardly a fortune but it helps.
Think I'll be relying on savings only soon as JSA is only 6 months.
Good luck re the job hunting

 

[bluesky1972-2019]

I think employment or lack of employment is a major reason for people to CTB.
I have a large amount of debt which at the rate I can afford to pay would take me 60 years to pay off! I'm basically screwed for the rest of my life. No chance of owning a house or buying a new car.
I also hate my job now and have been off on sick leave with stress and depression for quite a few weeks now. Really don't want to go back.
Taking all this into account I really want out of this shit life!

I had a career.. My boss tried to help me, but I took it for granted.. I disliked rat race and I had a hypomaniac streak and I tried starting a business. Now this made my presence in my office irregular. Boss gave up on me and asked me to resign.. I was still in hypomania and thought that I would be able to make money from my new business.. Now I am lost. And I am here
