If you won the lottery would it solve your problems?

[Vault of Memories]

If you were to win a million, 10 million, 100 million, would it solve the reason for you being on this site? Would you still feel suicidal? I'd love to win that much money and I'd probably do some spontaneous stuff with it, but I'd really just plan on leaving it for those I love.
I remember when Anthony Bourbain died specifically, so many were curious as to how a man of his fame and fortune could commit such an act. I understood though, because realistically no amount of money will fix the problems that I face and have faced.

If I had enough just to live on each year, say $40,000 take home.. Then yes..I could quit my current job and just relax. That's sadly never going to happen and I'll never be able to retire or anything like that.

It wouldn't change much, what could I do with the money?

 

[someonewillhelpme]

No, it just wouldn't

 

[Wanting2go]

Yes so I could get plastic surgery

 

[Erase.myself]

If I were to win $10 million I would still want to catch the bus. Money may help me with an apartment, or getting my broken teeth fixed..
But money won't fix my mental illnesses, my anorexia, won't bring back my twin or love of my life who died, won't mend my broken heart or mind ...
And money will definitely not bring color back into my world.

 

[Living sucks]

Unfortunately no

 

[Anxietykillsme]

Maybe temporarily.

I see you put a question mark and that's the point. For some people money in this quantities would solve their reasoning for being in here. I would probably go on some drug/drinking binge, just because I had the money to.

Surely, you must see people question why celebrities with large amounts of wealth commit suicide? I agree with you though, it wouldn't change my mind, I'm still destined for death by my own hands, but surely some people's minds would be changed. Nevertheless, you've got to admit an extreme confusion exists with people being able to have wealth, yet be depressed amongst those that don't suffer from depression, or aren't wealthy.

 

[Shinbu]

No.

 

[Jumper Geo]

No it wouldn't but it would extend my life until I finally got the N without losing my money when customs seize my items I could try and try gain until I received it and then its booze, birds and barbiturates,

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

It would solve some problems … like being poor. And create new ones in that people would only want to be around you for your money or want loans that they would never pay back. I would like to be able to take care of my parents though.

 

[meles_inoris]

I would buy a classic car, get wasted on expensive whiskey, and drive head on into the first semi truck I see.

 

[Negrathecat]

Money may not fix my messed up mind but it would solve all my problems and I definitely wouldn't even think about ctb because I'd be so grateful. Honestly if I had a shit ton of money I'd be happier.

I know you want to be creatives but I find your post so hard to read especially when I'm pissed so please switch back to black words,

Cheers geo

Ok...I'm drunk at the moment, but my stance on this still remains the same. There are plenty of methods to ctb, why do you think it's right to possibly put another's at risk because you (we) don't enjoy ours?

 

[Squiddy]

I'd still want to ctb because I'm incompetent, have a hard time articulating myself verbally, have a bad memory, and have mental illness. None of the money could cure that.

 

[itsamadworld]

Money helps with comfort and I could buy N, but it won't cure mental illness. I am a minamilist, and if I did win the lottery it wouldn't change who I am. The best times of my life were out in nature camping or in the military when the situation was simple, but I still hated life anyways cuz of mental illness. In fact, this modern money driven world, might be the reason I have mental illness. I think what would help me is to have been raised better and in another era.. But milk cannot be unspilled....

Sorry I'm pissed as well but I don'rt understand and I reread it, lol

 

[BPD Barbie]

I could win £10k and it would solve the vast majority of my daily struggles. It would solve my crippling debt and let me focus on my mental illnesses instead of trying and failing to balance everything.

Was just saying I don't think his method of ctb is right. It's one thing to take your life, but this method puts others at risk.

OK I can see your point please be clear in your message I am drunk do I need clarification, haha

It may bring the feeling of ephemeral happiness, may solve all my financial problems, but I have anhedonia so even chilling in 5-star hotel somewhere in Ibiza can have no reflection on my mental state. I say that not because this is my assumption. I visited 25 countries but was very tired and looking like through a prism, windshield, whatever. It is a delusion that if we become rich, everything will change. I think that eternal travelling, writing novels and poems can be my ideal lifestyle, but once I will reach the point when I will feel tired and depressed again. The worst thing to experience is a hangover after happiness. And it would be a harsh fall. There are no antidepressants for 100k dollars which help instantly and you can feel happy again, so likely I will have same mental health issues but just in another place. My life will look like travelling till the moment when I will travel to buy N.

I might be a little happy because I'd get to travel, but that'd pretty much be it. Couldn't solve my problems.

 

[InTheAirTonight]

It would merely postpone my death by a year or so

Haha these pro lifer what you gonna do with them lol

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I would use the lottery winnings to boldy CTB where no man has before...in space!

 

[DeathNoot]

it wouldn't solve my problems but it would allow to me to live with them. I am perfectly content to live out my days as a complete recluse. I'd still buy some sn at least, just in case.

Dito when I found out my friends were all a wastes of space when I was a teenager I stared to explore the World on my own and with my street knowledge from south east London and my own research i done fine but there are so many suicides throughout Spain and the results have probably been log as accidental deaths.

I did not go to Spain because did not want to lose job and understand that could be just a trip with no improvements or any visible changes.
