Yes, health is wealth. I've always known and valued that, and worked to educate others. I may be able to share some helpful info, if you'd like to PM me.

What country are you in ? Surely you can declare yourself bankrupt and get financial help from other areas ,money is not worth ctb over if thats your only reason . I was in debt my business went bankrupt but although it was hard to accept and left me with nothing ,i never felt i wanted to ctb ,there is so much help out there if you ask for it , I picked myself up and struggled through ,but now i have a terminal illness and i cant be saved and im trying to save off my benefits to go to dignitas . so if anyone is spreading there excess wealth around they can keep me in mind too! thank you .
If i had excess money i would be helping others as much as i could, you cant take it with you ,so may as well help others where you can is my theory , this covid 19 as made a lot of people more considerate of others situations so that is something positive thats perhaps came out of the current pandemic .
you are trapped in hell.First i'd like to say that i apologize if i sounded rude in my reply to you, i get very defensive when talking about all of this, cuz it's easy for me to feel attacked, but it's my fault, so i'm sorry if i came off like that.
About the situation i'm in, i wasn't really pressured to go to med school.
I had a hard time choosing a career, because i hated every single one.
The thing is, my problem was deeper, i hated the very idea of adulthood, growing up, the real world.
I loved being a teen, i loved having an easy and carefree life where everything was just good fun and nothing mattered.
So, the time to apply to entrance exams came, and i had to choose something.
I figured, since i despise everything anyway, just pick Medicine, it was a win-win.
My parents will be happy (they didn't pressure me, but i knew that this is what they wanted me to do, so it was more of an indirect pressure).
If i fail, i have an excuse, because it's the hardest one to pass, and if i succeed, i'll have that high, of being admired, of being complimented for the achivement.
I always cared deeply about my image, about compliments, about this positive feedback, and at that point in my life, i was starving for it.
The moment i said i would try med school, they were filled with joy, and that gave me a high.
Some colleagues/friends and some of their parents also stroked my ego as well, which gave me a high too.
Eventually i was able to pass in this stupid expensive college i mentioned, and that takes us to where i'm at now.
It was also during the year where i passed my entrance exam, 2017, where i think my sadness truly became depression.
I can think of one specific point, where i got rejected by the only girl i ever loved, that was the day i died.
Not just because of the rejection, obviously, but because of all of the things that it made me finally realise.
The friends and colleagues i've studies with for 7 years? Gone.
My hopes of being with this one girl? Gone?
That fun carefree life where everything was easy and always went my way? Gone.
I finally realised that i'm not the protagonist, i'm not special, i realised that some people live and die miserable and i can be one of those people.
I guess i got a reality check for the first time in my life.
Maybe i've talked enough, but i think it's important to mention that it was after this one event in my life that everything just stopped.
I was the best in my high school class, or at least one of the best.
Ever since that day where i had all of these realizations, studying went from being even fun, to being torture, and now i'm always the worst in my college class.
I also used to draw a lot, in my deviantart, my 2016 folder has almost 150 drawings, 2017 has less than 20, folders after that have less than 10.
I don't know, it's like i just can't feel pleasure anymore, i just stopped caring about things in the last few years.
I barely have the energy to get out of bed nowadays, i feel tired all of the time even though i do nothing.
I don't have dreams, i don't have goals, i can't see myself as an adult, i guess i just don't make the cut, i don't know.
And that's why i'm on this site, as far as i'm concerned, i'm not even apt to live, if i stay alive things will just get worse with time, might aswell quit now.
you are trapped in hell.
I can't bear what you are going through. The weight of what you are facing is enormous and it is worth dying to escape from all of this and the pain you are going through. You have been hit by so many great harms and you face no empathy because yours are mental harms. The physical equivalent of what you are going through is like several broken bones and they just want to keep on kicking and punching your broken bones because they don't have empathy for mental harms and suffering as great as you are facing. Your feelings of powerlessness must be driving your suicidal feelings and the hopelessness of finding any solution other than suicide. It's not just one harm but several that make you feel how awful as you do.
I am extremely against the medicalisation of misery and suicide. I know this is completely the wrong time to get on my soapbox but you need empathy not psychiatry. A psychiatrist would recommend you try taking antidepressants. They'll change how you feel but they won't change your situation and they won't protect you from things getting worse. In fact you might risk being hospitalised and forcibly treated against our will if you talk to a doctor and even if they don't force treatment on you i doubt they'll understand just how worth dying the pain of a broken heart is.
As someone who is training to be a doctor it's worse for you because you know what they're going to say and you an insight into what they're thinking so you know you'll be faced with "it's not that bad" or "there are others who are worse off than you" or "you are too young to die" or "you are giving up too soon" or "your life might get better eventually at some point in the future" or "you are throwing your life away because of how you feel right now" the other thoughts devoid of empathy that typify the mental health community at large
you can't suffer more. things can't get worse for you, they have to get better. you need to be protected from all those who are so heartless to you. you need solutions based on your consent or you need access to assisted suicide.
There is no care without assisted suicide. Sorry to end back on my soapbox.
(getting on a soapbox is uk slang for preaching or talking about good and virtue and beliefs like a politician does.)
Are your health issues the main reason you want to CTB? If yes, is it because you value your senses a lot or is it the fact that it disrupts your life in other ways? Or other?I'm near a million bucks and make nearly 200k a year and have done very well with crypto investments, going from 30k of debt and 0 in the bank to around 700,000 Canadian (spread across crypto / bank / cash) in 4 years and no debt. By my estimations I would be a millionaire in the next two years maximum, probably in the next six months as I've been doing pretty well with crypto in 2020. I also spend very little, drive a 1200 dollar car, live in a 1 bedroom apartment, currently eating store brand chips and spinach dip, etc. I am 33 for reference.
No amount of money will cure my earth shattering tinnitus or visual issues. Already spent over 200k trying. Really the only thing I ever wanted to do in my life was backpack around the world and smoke weed and I did that for all of my 20s, being a broke bum, and it was the best time ever. I am so glad I did that before all my health issues hit because now I am very well off and positioned to be a multimillionaire and unable to do anything at all with the money that I never cared about having in the first place. I cant even smoke weed as it exacerbates my symptoms so I lost that too! Haha. I dont believe in God but theres an old Dolly Parton lyric that goes, "if you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people he gave it to."
So it's hard not to have a good chuckle at that.
At this point I am happy to have money to leave my niece and nephews for when they are older, and am looking forward to taking my SN very soon.
If money would solve anyones problems and convince them to live in this beautiful world, learn how to program. I taught myself and it is very easy and very lucrative.
Not rich either but if I was, I wouldn't want to ctb as much. It would mean I'd be able to get out of the situation I'm stuck in, pay off crippling debt, start over and if I did chose to ctb I'd have more options available to me like N. Money doesn't buy happiness but it can be a huge help.
Gun is the quickest. I'm a female but i'd still pick a gun if i could.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.
Why do men love using the gun for sucide?
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
Lol, finny because I want a man to take care of me. that's my dream. to be a pamepred housewife. To each their own right?I hate the concept of a man taking care of a woman. Mostly because if we'd say the same thing in reverse that would be an insult...
I wish destiny would put you in this dilemma...whatever you think, even if someone dropped you off a bag of 10 million, if you cannot get rid of your chronic health problems then I'd bet you'd still want to ctb !I'm DIRT POOR...
I can assure you that I would not even consider suicide and would instantly forget about Sanctioned Suicide if I were to somehow acquire $10 million.
Chronic health problems have unfortunately taken away my ability to make ANY income.
Are your health issues the main reason you want to CTB? If yes, is it because you value your senses a lot or is it the fact that it disrupts your life in other ways? Or other?
I recommend certain strains of cannabis for depression. Orange Creamsicle strain is very good for depression. Sorry if you're somewhere that makes it illegal to try and not all cannabis strains are equal.I'm quite poor but I have a lot going for me, I guess... steady income, a home that can't be taken from me, a man who loves me, healthcare that covers a very expensive med that actually treats my Autoimmune condition...
None of it matters in the face of mental illness. It runs my life and it doesn't give a fuck that I have so much to be grateful for...
Honestly, it feels like a weight...
Because I'm still unhappy despite all I have it just feels like I'm a selfish piece of shit that is willfully unhappy.
I can't get over how much I shouldn't even feel like this...
I switched antidepressants last year and it helped for a little while. I don't even know what's wrong with me. There's like... one more medication I could try till I get to MAOIs (and I couldn't stick to the diet)... after that is ECT, and it feels like at that point I might as well be dead because being a zombie for a week after and needing to be taken care of... just fucking kill me (just fucking kill me anyways).
I already smoke cannabis. I'm an addict. It's really not enough (though tbh I smoke less when I'm depressed cus what's the point?).I recommend certain strains of cannabis for depression.

Some people it helps so I thought to suggest.I already smoke cannabis. I'm an addict. It's really not enough (though tbh I smoke less when I'm depressed cus what's the point?).
I'd argue you might want to catch the deadliest onesI'm not rich myself but having money would probably make me more likely to have access to safer busses to catch.
I guess. I know some woman like it, i'm kind of out of the game, since i'm not into men, but i wish my staight female friends could openly say they take care of their men as well, cause they do. Without anyone getting offended. Everybody wants to be taken care of in a relashionship, it shouldn't be exclusive. Women aren't inherently more vunerable then men. Unless they choose to.Taking care of someone you love is a universal thing.Lol, finny because I want a man to take care of me. that's my dream. to be a pamepred housewife. To each their own right?
The only thing worse than chronic health problems is chronic health problems AND NO MONEY.I
I wish destiny would put you in this dilemma...whatever you think, even if someone dropped you off a bag of 10 million, if you cannot get rid of your chronic health problems then I'd bet you'd still want to ctb !
You really have it rough... are you planning on CTB or just browsing? If yes i really feel for you, it must be hard to plan it in these conditions...The only thing worse than chronic health problems is chronic health problems AND NO MONEY.
I can assure, again, that I can tolerate life with my chronic health problems IF I Had ENOUGH MONEY.
Sure, life would still be shitty but it'll be shitty in a comfortable bed with food in the fridge instead of homelessness.
To be honest at this rate it isn't even anything sad to me. Death is just the most logical solution to my problems. I will give life a month more to try fix things through some divine intervention. I don't know why I keep thinking the future will be better when the last seven years have been a horrific decline. I just know I can't tolerate any more and I'm not ashamed of it..You really have it rough... are you planning on CTB or just browsing? If yes i really feel for you, it must be hard to plan it in these conditions...
And you shouldn't be. Do you have a solid plan in place?and I'm not ashamed of it..
I feel very sorry for you, yes, the cumulation of both bad health and bad finances must be the ultimate horror...but you might think you could tolerate life if you had money even given your physical problems...it might even work for a while...I still believe you won't achieve any kind of permanent comfort even if you had a home and enough money to live decently. Sheer physical pain will always get the better of you in the end ! If I had a choice to give up every single penny I have but I got perfect physical constitution in exchange I'd gladly say yes !The only thing worse than chronic health problems is chronic health problems AND NO MONEY.

I totally agree - only I ever had women who were big into making a career and it got into the way of our relationship even though I keep on wanting just to spoil and pamper them since I have enough money to afford a comfy lifestyle for 2 ! Silly isn't that some people crave something they cannot get and others reject it when it's wholeheartedly offered?I'd argue you might want to catch the deadliest ones

Any THC amplifies it. It's not a hearing problem, my hearing is fine (multiple hearing tests).@Sdj why not try edibles? You could even try vaping since it's less stressful on the body. Shame there isn't anything for your health condition. How did you get the hearing problem?
I've read hearing loss may coincide with tinnitus so I assumed. I've read just aging can result in tinnitus but typically the outcome is from loud noises damaging the inner ear. I'm surprised with how common it can be that nobody has figured out a cure for it.Any THC amplifies it. It's not a hearing problem, my hearing is fine (multiple hearing tests).
Dont know how I got it, unfortunately. Appeared in bed one night and progressively got worse.
thanks. But i have done nothing to change your circumstances or fulfill your hopes or help you get access to assisted suicide. I am not protecting you or healing your will to live so I'm sorry but your thanks seem empty.Your reply is so filled with empathy from start to finish, that it made my heart feel warm, almost like i've been hugged through words.
As someone who constantly doubts myself and my depression, feeling like i'm just looking for excuses and that it's all my fault... I really needed this hug.
Thank you so much!
