Does anybody else want to ctb because of bills?

[Squiddy]

It's not my main reason, but I owe about $6k in hospital bills and can't afford to pay it because I'm broke with no job and am waiting for a decision on disability.

 

[passenger27]

Bills are a big reason I'm CTB too, among many other things.

I'm on disability, so I know they take their sweet time approving you. I have a sister who had to go to court 3 times to finally get approved. I got lucky and got approved without going to court. If I remember right I had to wait like 3 months.

Hope things work out for you whichever direction you decide to go.

 

[Flume]

Yes, it's not the main thing... but being broke sure as fuck helps with the suicidal thoughts.

 

[WhiteDespair]

Yes. Wound up in a psych ward due to student loans. Now credit cards because wanting to alleviate depression made me reckless. These days I'm more ambivalent about it.

 

[Jean4]

One of the reasons, yes.

 

[DarkDane]

No, I have been fairly ok with saving money, but doesent really matter when your health is spiralling. The American system is definitly also far worse, to profit of sickness and education is messed up, they put you as debt slave for the rest of your life.

 

[Kodama]

100% Because of financial issues :/

 

[Stan]

It's a contribution, I think it is common for people with some form of MH issue to procrastinate with financial matters. There should be a system to help those individuals somehow as it certainly does not help with those trying to recover as this is a cloud that hangs over people.

It makes sense for the riches to live to 100 like some fucking Warren Buffett or David Rockefeller.

But to live broke and in poverty until even 40 just doesn't seem right...

Yes and no.
They together with the Rothschild family is definitely the greatest evil to bestow. But
I dont think they have ever been to the doctor, driven people are rarely sick, if you are sick you don't manage to build a billion dollar empire. Might get a hip transplant at 80, but these people are physically and mentally healthy, and posssible psychopath's

Well if I don't kill myself now..there will come a day where I won't have the money to support myself anymore and I will be homeless. I'm disabled. I'm able to walk but that's about it. I can't use my arms very much. So when my mother dies, I'll be out on my ass which is still amazing by the way haha. I'm surprised at how it's held up. But your ass can only get you so far.

@Sweet emotion that was pretty funny.

@Sweet emotion that was pretty funny.

Haha thanks. My ass is famous where I live haha.

 

[AgonyOnMe]

Although this is just a factor, not my main reason, I'm not doing it because of debt I'm doing it because wasting 40 hours a week with only 2 days off isn't worth it anymore.

 

[Nem]

Jesus fucking Christ yes!!!!
I spent over 60k trying to fix damage caused by a full retard dr and now I'm so much in debt it's a fucking nightmare...NIGHTMARE!!!!
Now, I can barely work and was working 80 hours a week over the summer and only getting three hours of sleep per night max and it was ripping my ass in half and I'm still in severe debt. The lack of sleep is destroying my health like you wouldn't believe and I'm thinking of violent methods of suicide namely decapitation, it's a sure fire way to go as long as the rope doesn't snap etc (I guess it's not as sure fired as I thought?!)

Peace/hugs

Not bills so much as just money in general. Living in poverty, doing back breaking and soul crushing work for minimum wage, austerity... It makes me want to die all the time.

what job?

 

[MeltingHeart]

Not an immediate sense - as one bill that I can't pay now - but over the years my financial woes have effected every area of my life - from my education to friendships , relationship etc. & also hugely contributing to constant anxiety- plus having to sustain long hours in low pay menial soul destroying jobs - that leave you with little energy, time and inspiration to pursue things I enjoy outside of work- so yeah money

 

[Shakespear's Brother]

I've already been through bankruptcy once, and I feel like it's a cycle that people in poverty keep repeating, so I'd like to preemptively avoid all that. I need some fucking dignity.

 

[anonbpdgirl]

what job?

Support work.

I am just not rich enough to pay for a roof over my head so I am staying with people who love me but I cannot really be ... their good friend because I am so sad frustrated and damaged.

Yes and no.

Please explain how a psychopath can be mentally healthy.... they are picking on us depressed ones and diagnose us but they never get the ones who put us in this state. capitalist predators , stripping away dignity and create poverty type stress and mental anguish for those who were promised a "trickle down effect" when capitalism got going in the 40s.

It's absolutely about 80% of the reason.
I've been struggling for more than 10 years to try to make ends meet and have been living paycheque to paycheque for that long.
I work way too hard for the pay I get and my body is in pain 24/7.
I was keeping up, barely but this past year and a half, my debts have gotten away from me and my bills are all overdue. I once again have creditors calling me all day every day... I keep the volume turned off so that I can get away from it.
My biggest stress is that a good friend lent me money 2 years ago to start my business and I feel sick every day knowing that I have nothing left and no way to pay it back.
I just can't live like this any more.

I also have creditors calling me everyday

 

[Moonicide]

Yep. I'm currently on disability and living off of food stamps. $500 is a month is not enough to live on... The waiting list for housing is also so long that I'm stuck here living in an abusive / toxic environment. This life isn't sustainable.

 

[Lotus1818]

No I luckily have enough money to live comfortably. But if it interests you. It doesn't make me happy. I still feel lost and empty. @Squiddy if you had loads of money would you still want to ctb?

I'm not Squiddy, but for me, if I could pay off my debts and have enough money to live stress free - I would gladly continue to live with the physical pain. I don't hate life, I don't hate living... I just hate the situation I'm in

 

[Emily123]

I wouldn't . it is not a valid reason for ctb

 

[Farmmaa]

Excuse me ? It's not a valid reason ?!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you have no business telling anyone that how they feel is not valid.

Unless you have lived with the constant, daily, overwhelming stress and anxiety of not being able to pay your bills and of just barely scraping by ... then how dare you judge.
