If you suddenly got a billion dollars right now without doing anything, would you still want to die?

[Samn77]

I was thinking about how much my suicidal ideation can be attributed to life circumstances. I feel like, I'd still feel pretty miserable but I'd be able to distract myself with whatever the fuck I wanted if i had that kind of money. Drugs, food, luxury items, whatever I wanted. I think I'd be depressed enough to think about dying but not depressed enough to actually go through with it lmao

 

[I screwed up]

All my problems would be solved .... I would live a long life :)

 

[Futile]

I'd get all the surgeries I need and hopefully turn out with a normal face. Then I think I could live happily or at least give another shot at life

 

[Worthless_nobody]

I would 100% stay alive for my mom (she is only reason I'm still here). I could afford a nice home, healthcare, treatments and actually have a chance at life. Everyone says "money doesn't buy happiness" but it gets you a better quality of life which in turn equals happiness for *some* of us.

In my case money means everything now while my mom is alive but will be worthless after she has passed.

Do you have body dysmorphia?

 

[Futile]

Do you have body dysmorphia?

No, I'm just ugly. As in, severe asimmetry and minor deformities plus all the "normal" things that make someone ugly

Certainly not straight away!
It would be a distraction for a while but I'm not sure how long it would last

The money doesn't buy happiness is some privileged ass shit. I mean, I'm sure some part of it is probably true, but money and a good quality of life can 100% contribute to someone's happiness

 

[Life sucks]

I'll make N at home

 

[LetzteAusfahrt]

I would found a ctb association, buy my own island and found my own state. With its own laws.

On my island euthanasia would be free and without restriction. Everyone can die as they like.

Alone or together in peace. Or at regular ctb parties.

But above all there are laws that define pro-life as a disease, lock every pro-lifer in a closed clinic and forcibly treat him with medication.

I would make sure that the club would exist for a long time and would give the starting shot at the first party as a guest of honor, which I would not hear anymore, because my brain would then just fly apart in all directions

 

[ThrownAwayTom]

I think I'd still CTB eventually, but in the meantime I'd want to do some good, maybe make the world a bit more bearable for people and places I leave behind.

Plus I'd probably just do drugs and try crazy rich guy dangerous stuff until I die in some kind of helicopter/jetski/cocaine fueled explosion.

 

[MiseryLovesMyCompany]

As money is not a major issue for me right now, it would only postpone the inevitable as far as I am concerned. However, I would certainly do a few things that I couldn't have done were it not for the huge amount of money. I could spend it like there is no tomorrow with ease, and not only on myself obviously.

 

[Sk1n1M1n]

I would use the money to escape pernamently out of my town and buy luxury apartment and have my perfect self quarantined chill pad. Obv family can come over to see me but not daily human contact too depressing for me.

No I wouldn't still be suicidal, and it wouldn't have to be a billion either.

Most of my issues are real-life practical problems that can be solved with money.
Though I would still have an internal feeling of being a bit messed up and this would still require treatment.

 

[Mm80]

Money dont make my world go round..
Im reaching out for a higher ground...
To a warm and peaceful place...
Where I can rest my weary face....

 

[Sk1n1M1n]

Money, friends, jobs these things are superficial too me these won't cure my depression and bpd

Most people would rather be rich and miserable than poor and miserable, I would just like to be not miserable.

 

[Trayus]

1 billion dollars and now drawbacks? I think that would keep me going. Having 7 Days a week for myself will remove most of the negative stuff in my life. Wouldn't cure my loneliness though, i dont want some gold digger... i want a true connection.

I'd definitely try it for a few years though! Maybe pursue some of my more unrealistic dreams like going to space or fund shelters for pandas and baby elephants

 

[Ren Elsie Jewelria]

That would postpone catching the bus for sure. I'd buy hundreds of comic books and manga, hire a beautiful female tutor to teach me art, buy myself some nice house far, far away from here. Also new laptop, etc. That would keep me going bit longer.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

If you'd asked me a while ago I'd say the only difference it would really make is that I'd be able to buy fancier and easier ways to CTB.

Now I know I am almost 99.99% certain a free billion dollars would save me. Why? Because besides being able to help my family out enough that I could break off and live independently, it also means I can actually provide a much better life for the one I love and she could hopefully take me back too! It would be a perfect little happy ending all wrapped up like a Disney story. We'd both retreat to our metaphorical castle and live happily ever after! Do I sound crazy? Yeah......

Is that a philosopher?

Des'ree.

Haha you got it lol!!!

 

[grungeCat]

It is a very tough question. I think I don't deserve so much money but on the other hand they could help me a bit. Honestly I don't know.

 

[Infinite Conscious]

I don't think there is anybody in his right mind who would kill himself with a billion dollars.
Hell, even 10 million would be enough.
Would a million be enough?
100.000 dollars?
How about...

Hmm, I think a billion would be fine.

10 million is definitely not really enough to live more than a decade or two in California realistically speaking so it's from from being set for life.

 

[Folie]

yup, cos i suffer from chronic pain.

 

[Chupacabra 44]

My desire to potentially CTB is driven by my dysfunction, health issues, lack of happiness, etc. Fortunately, my needs are met and I want for nothing. Suddenly obtaining a billion dollars would not alter my situation other than require my establishing a well thought out trust to ultimately benefit others.

Many of us are here in part due to brain chemistry challenges. Frankly, I don't believe wealth alters neuro chemical imbalances.

This is very true. There was a thread only yesterday about well known people who were rich/famous/geniuses who ended up throwing in the towel early, my own example being Anthony Bourdain. Can get all the cash, cars and women in the world, doesn't sort out the shitshow going on in your skull.

Haha you got it lol!!!

Couldn't read it without hearing his voice ha! Him and KP are two heroes of mine. I gorge endlessly on their podcasts/XFM radio shows.

 

[cantbe]

I would use the money to buy a peaceful dying method immediately

Anthony Bourdain was killed because he knew too much and threatened to make it public.
Just one of dozens of people killed by the orders of the Clintons.

And we are talking about a billion dollars here... a billion dollars cures everything.
That's a thousand million.
You can change your blood and live for more than a century (the way all those old fucks do that have billions), you can transplant any part of the body, hell you could be on drugs all the time and never worry about being out of stock.
You could have the best medic care available to humankind.
Those people do not kill themselves.
