Discussion How many of you would not CTB if you were given food daily and a place to sleep like a shelter for the rest of your life ?

[unkuto]

If I'll get a place to sleep and food just to get started anywhere else besides Russia I wouldn't kill myself. Because the only reasons I'm going to do that because I'm literally fucked by this war and sanctions to the point where I cannot continue. But it seems like this isn't going to happen so I only have one choice.
I already have SN and all the medication I need. Just to need to get myself ready mentally and do it. It's hard to make a decision like that when I don't want to die but have no other choice. It's so stupid and unfair. What else do I have left.

 

[Ednospatient]

Doctors don't know what it is and meds don't work. Some meds actually make it feel much worse.

Same! Pills barely make a difference and I still throw up.

Wouldn't you like to try moving to, for example, Turkey?

I would if I could.

 

[houseofleaves]

I would if I could.

Try to save money. Join a relocation chat. Find likeminded people. There's a way, you know (I'm from Russia and i would like to leave this country too)

You mean, like a farm animal? Or an inmate? Or living under communism?
I might want to CBT before being led to the slaughterhouse, or getting shanked in the shower, or starved in the Holodomor (if not sent to the Gulag) in those situations...

Not like a farm animal or inmate.... I mean more of an open prison or hostel ( obviously without the luxury ) ... I have no idea how living under communism actually feels like.

It's like living in an open prison, where one can, and will, vanish in the middle of the night, arrested for any and/or no reason whatsover...Ask Alexander Solzhenitsyn, author of THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO...

The Universe has as many different centers as there are living beings in it. Each of us is a center of the Universe, and that Universe is shattered when they hiss at you: "You are under arrest."

If you are arrested, can anything else remain unshattered by this cataclysm?

But the darkened mind is incapable of embracing these displacements in our universe, and both·the most sophisticated and
the veriest simpleton among us, drawing on all life's experience, can gasp out only: "Me? What for?"

And this is a question which, though repeated millions and millions of times before, has yet to receive an answer.

Well definitely not this way....

 

[stellabelle]

Oh, I'll always feel this way regardless.

Too late for me and my happiness!

 

[RubySimon]

Having my basic needs met would go a long way in helping ease my suicidal thoughts. Having a home of my own away from my trans phobic family would help my feel less stressed, food that i like every day is something i already get. But the main thing is support for my disabilties, acceptance of my being trans and a community.

But right now all of those are impossible so here I am.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I already have that. So does almost every zoo animal.

I am reading that the Turkish economy is collapsing. They are facing a food crisis. Most of the people in the country earn under $300 a month. Still, the situation in Russia seems to be worse.

I started this thread because i felt i probably wouldn't ctb if this was the case. I would live there and eat food ... probably try to work odd jobs if i can and try to get money for smokes and booze perhaps and just live with no stress.

 

[downndone2]

Living in a shelter with sh!t food and without my dogs would literally cause me to walk into a freeway

 

[Angel_01]

I already live like that, It's very unfulfilling and lonely.

 

[neurotoxic]

Id definitely give recovery another try, if i had food and shelter without having to rely on my abusers.

 

[insomni_yak001]

this has no bearing on my need to ctb lol. this is nice, but doesn't nearly solve the problem for people with chronic mental or physical health issues/treatment resistant. if someone could give me a working brain that would let me sleep even for like an hour, however, I'd give an unequivocal yes.
