I'm not rich myself but having money would probably make me more likely to have access to safer busses to catch.

If I was rich I would try at least fix the damage from plastic surgery. And maybe I wouldn't go to this surgeon who ruined my face in the first place.

I agree with @K-O
I know our perception of ourselves is important, so i can understand why it must be hard for you
Still, as someone looking in from the outside, i think you're pretty
I am not rich, but I made really good money and had everything I needed and within simple terms could buy anything I wanted. I have a great house, family, had a great job, cooked great food and took nice trips. I had good looks and nice clothes. I have to say.....there was nothing to be depressed about. When I lost my health, I lost everything. If you don't have your health, you don't have anything.

I have plenty of money and a family. Depression and trauma is why I'm dying. That's the thing. Doesn't matter how rich or successful you are I feel your depressed and have problems you're prone to suicide. Robin Williams was a centa miliionaire he died because the poor man had depression and all other sorts of issues. Yes, rich and successful people are depressed and prone to suicide. I hope that answers your question mate.

Oh why?
Do you live in the USA?
No offence american users on the site
I used to think money was everthing ( sometimes i still do).
In the UK there was there was a sad story on the BBC. There was this British millionare called Peter smedly he went to digntas clinc with his wife to end his life.
He had a motor neurone disease which is a terminal disease in which the muscles shut down , you lose your ablity to walk, talk , move and to do things but your brian still works perfectly . There is no cure and there is only a limited range of medicines to slow the progression.
This is the illness steven hawking had and the baseball player lou gering had ( in the UK we use the term MND but americans called this disease ALS)
He had all the money in the world but it couldnt cure him or alievate him of this awful disease. Terry prachett was a famous UK writer and wealthy . He considered euthanisa because he had alzhemiers disease. He never went to digntas i think its because dignatas rules requires you to be of sound mind.
Alzhemier makes it harder to make decisons due to the progressive memory loss
I am sorry
What procedure did you have and what happened? If dont mind me asking

That's something I figured out early. Money wouldn't fix what I need fixed and it wouldn't make me happy. If others are killing themselves with money then why wouldn't I? I can't change what happened to me. I can't replace what I lost. If I got rich tomorrow I would just use it to ctb. I'm sick of this place.

I am not rich but having more money will allow me do more fun things this can help me live better and enjoy life.
If i had a lot of money i would. I move far away where no one knows me and start my life again.
A gun is the worst method to use as you can permanetly disfigure your face if you mess up with the positioning.
There is no dignty. A hole in your head, blood and guts thats not a dignified exit

For some people, lack of money may be the sole reason why they want to CTB. For the rest, no matter how much money they have (except of course for daily essentials), they still want to CTB for any reasons. Both are still valid forms of sufferings.

$3.9b made Minecraft creator depressed
Billionaire game designer Markus Persson says money has torn his life apart.
Inside life Minecraft founder says has been ruined by too much money
Persson (pictured) once flew all his staff to Monte Carlo in private jets. His greatest indulgence is his home — the most expensive property ever listed in Beverly Hills. But he bemoans his riches.
My take on money : when you're dead thirsty in the desert, 1 or 2 bottles of water will make a world of vital difference, but being given a swimming pool won't really be a game changer. I wish everyone's a decent living with basic needs covered comfortably. Past that, I don't necessarily think that wealth is a condition to lead a fulfilled life
I admire those who can enjoy themselves with little. Those have found a sustainable meaning of life imho. Typically, this would be my sort of hero, whose happiness is carried from philosophy, staying amazed forming habits rather than through chains of means.
My mind has been corrupted about money before, which certainly deteriorated my mental health. Badly in need of a purity cleansing.
I also encountered 2 close persons who killed for money, which I think is a hygienic suicide before it happens, which speaks a lot what kind of stability wealth is going to secure. In excess, it's only a crutch for sanity.

the studies I've seen indicate that wealth is a factor in happiness to the extent it raises people out of poverty. However, very shortly after this it plays little or no factor. I don't remember the exact numbers in the study, but it was MUCH lower than I would have guessed This is consistent with Maslow hierarchy of needs.
Wealth and things won't bring fulfillment, and those suddenly raised up in income bracket will soon fall into similar traps. You now just have a bigger house with more rooms you have to fill with more expensive crap and a bigger mortgage to worry about.

I watched documentaries on billionaires and there life is great but they are very paranoid having employed expensive security experts to keep them safe online and weekly sweeps of there houses to check for bugs and body guards planning there routes etc. They can't just talk to people as they are frightened they are after money so it has it downfalls.
Still prefer to CTLimousine than CTBus, haha

Nope! Very strict laws. You can get the so called Waffenschein (firearm license), which is veeery hard to get. You have to meet requirements. One of them is to have a good reason why you want to own a gun... If you say you want a gun for self defense they will definitely deny your request.
Basically impossible for normal people to get a Waffenschein, or at least, insanely hard. Also you have to renew your Waffenschein every 3 years and meet the requirements again.
So, a nono here.
Not rich right now but previously was working and got lot of money for myself. Doesn't change my view about how shitty is life at all. The only thing I miss is the endless distractions I can get with money.
I was doing some reading online and seen a bunch of people on reddit saying they had no problem getting one Germany.
I also found this guy explaining the process on YouTube.

The sport shooters are a thing, which is true and also makes no sense to me, since anybody could join a sport shooting club to get a license. Even neo nazis or potential terrorists as long as they have no criminal record. But trust me, anybody with a gun here is being looked at different... not in a good way. This is probably why nobody owns a gun here... I live here and I have never seen one in person. The only one having a gun is the 'Förster' and, maybe the sport shooting club members...(Still with strict regulations!) and I know they exist, I had one in my small town, but I have never seen them in action, neither have I ever known somebody who's in there.
So it is possible, but really not benefitting. (Money is also a thing)

what I have done is just made it very clear that I want all my money to go to a certain non-profit i love. my parents try to use money as means for making me happy telling me the pay for the most expensive therapist and psychiatrist and they will buy my this and that but they don't understand how all those things they love to throw money at to make me "happy" is really just an awful reminder of all the sadness in addition to feelings of guilt for not being happy because on paper im lucky and have a so called great life

Here is an interesting story, the UK coroners are so fucked up please if anyone can explain this to me it's not the first time I have seen this verdict it's quite common in the UK, but could this be a ploy to keep the suicide figures down, he hung himself, plus he was a unhappy millionaire so I am still on subject, haha.

I think being wealthy definitely keeps you on this earth longer - even if there is a desire to die. Having more money means a higher likelihood of attaining solutions to your problems, even if they're ongoing or challenging. It may not take away mental health issues, but certain it will negate the presence of chronic stressors that make life miserable for most.
I think I am wealthy but if I am rich, I don't know, I guess not. But I am incredibly privileged for sure. My husband and me earn >250.000 together, it definitely gives you some kind of freedom. I live in two appartments depending whether I want to be in the city or by the lake. We both have jobs which are seen as high status.
I am mentally ill since my puberty and as a student for example I was really short on money. Does it change something? Maybe it shifts some problems. And surely it's reassuring not having to care so much about bills, etc. But you know in the end we're all here for a reason speaking to eachother.

@maru., do you know what they call the person who graduates at the bottom of the class in medical school?
Doctor.
I empathize that it's difficult to not compare yourself to others, but I think it also creates a heavier burden that doesn't reflect the whole reality. I hope you don't think I'm trying to negate your feelings or your position, I have much compassion for you, it's just that your comments reminded me of that joke that is also true.
I wish you the best.

I appreciate the kind words and the compassion, my friend.
Tho, it isn't just about comparing myself to others, i don't care much about being the worst by itself.
It's more of a, you know, i think it's better if i give an actual example of what i feel.
There are many classes where we discuss clinical cases with teachers, or even see patients with them.
I'm always the one that stays in the corner, quiet, not due to being shy, but because i don't know anything.
And when doing anything involving patients, i can't do anything, the physical exam, nothing, cuz i just don't know.
When i look at my friends during these classes, i can legit see future doctors, that are perfecting their skills and knowledge with time.
Me? I feel like a fraud.
I've learned pretty much nothing in two years, only studying right before the exams, passing due to the first two years being considered easy by most people.
I didn't actually learn much, like, at all.
Now that we are going to have online exams, many teachers are worried about cheating, and they always emphasize that "you're not learning this to pass, but so you know this stuff later when you're a doctor", it always hits me very hard.
Btw, i'm the class representative, so i'm the middle man between teachers and students, especially during this lockdown, and i get so many messages from people, like, from 7AM to 11PM or something, asking about the slides, or the class recordings, etc.
I see so many colleagues that aren't just doing med school, it isn't just part of their lives, it is their life, and still they stuggle to learn what we need to know.
My fear isn't finishing med school as the worst, my fear is not even being able to finish, cuz it takes so much, 24/7, and most days i struggle to even get out of bed.
When i look at my colleagues, i don't get hurt because i'm worse than them, i get hurt because i'm looking at what i was supposed to be, but just don't have the strength or energy to reach for anymore.
I'm just so tired.
Still, thank you for the advice and empathy, you're very kind :D
