Discussion If you could exit the workforce, would you still want to CTB?

Provided you could live comfortably and have all of your needs met for the full duration of your life.

I know that for me, work is deeply unpleasant, and I hate the people I'm forced to interact with. It would make a world of difference for my mental health to be away from that environment altogether.

I do not work right now but if I was told that I never had to, I would still want to ctb. There is absolutely nothing that would make me want to live. I think in my case, I just want to sleep forever. Living does not appeal to me in any way, and no matter what my life circumstances are, I would not want to be alive.

Work sucks but not working just means more time to dwell on your intrusive and destructive thoughts.

For me the damage has already been done. No amount of money will fix my childhood, my health or mental state. It would be nice not to worry about finances but that is just a symptom of a larger problem, which is life itself.

I don't know why it is so taboo to admit that some lives are just not worth living or that some people are just not meant to exist in this modern society.

Yeah, I'd still wanna die. I think I hate work more in concept than in reality. In reality it doesn't really make any difference. I'm just as miserable off work.

 

[Darkmoon Queen]

Yeah. Being financially comfortable is a huge thing and not to be sniffed at but look how people are. Money doesn't solve that.

Same. I don't like work either but all that I end up doing after work is wasting time lounging around or sleeping. At this point I only exist to work so I can stay alive. This is such a pathetic and pointless way of living yet I still cling onto it for who knows what reason.

It's kind of a scary thought.

If you think of life as an ocean, and the things you value and enjoy as a raft that keep you afloat—our raft is gone. We go to work and we're drowning there. We go home, and we're drowning there too.

And the longer we're out here thrashing in the water, the initial pieces of wood that made up our raft are drifting further away.

@AnxiousSchizoid I don't know why, but in my head the guy in your profile pic is Jim Jefferies

The ageing process is not tied to your employment status.

Lol I am not sure who that is, but I will look them up after I get off work today.

I chose that picture for my avatar because I like the imagery of some business dude who's sick of it all and has no fucks left to give. Seemed fitting for a forum like this one

[NeedExit]

Where I'm from people that don't work get money that's around as high as social security. That's really not much but most of these really REALLY want to work, because they want to be part of society. So no, I don't think not working would make someone really happy long-term, and it isn't why I'm here. I actually want to work in the field I'm studying for but now this doesn't work

 

[BottomlessPit]

Life is a drag with or without work. I would still have to take care of this fragile body day in day out, and be forced to put up this facade of sociability all the time. Not to mention that misery follows me everywhere, no matter the circumstances.

 

[PeacefulTonic]

I don't have to work for the rest of my life, but ctb is still my only way out

 

[noname223]

I simply cannot work it makes me manic or severly depressed. No matter how hard I try I always get fired. Poverty is for me a big issue and one big part of my suiciidality.
So if I had no problems with money that might prevent my suicide but I am not sure. I am worrying about money every day for hours...
