Discussion non suicidal people :If I gave you 1million dollars would you still feel suicidal?

[nohopenohappiness]

Me: I would take it with me when I jump from the tallest building

 

[ZRA]

I don't think it would help much. My immediate emotional reaction is that I would use the money to hurt people, but I like to think I wouldn't actually do that. Anyway, I could jump (no pun intended) for a more expensive ctb method.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

It wouldn't fix the real issues. It would be like painting over rotted wood. Even under the new paint, the wood is still rotted.

 

[iltloml]

I would tell them to shove their money up their a**. Money is a disease

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm never sure if these sorts of questions are to sort the 'terminally' or 'real' suicidal people out from the less hard-core type. In which case, I probably lie somewhere in the middle.

I'm fortunate enough (for now) not to have crippling health issues (either physically or mentally- although I imagine we're all depressed on here). A vast sum of money would take some of the worries off of me and would enable me to help out friends and family also struggling. I'm not convinced it would 'fix' everything though. I find life pretty meaningless. Money ironically would likely make it feel even more meaningless because I wouldn't even NEED to try anymore. I'm not sure I even want to make any effort to get better either.

I would feel so much better going through with CTB, knowing my estate would be significant enough to really help lots of people (it all goes to charity, in my wishes, although I don't have a legal will).

 

[IfyouareamanWinston]

I don't know for sure however I do know that most of my daily stress and struggle is financial. If I could afford to eat healthy foods and not stress about work while also affording therapy and hobbies it would go a very long way to tilting the scale towards living.

 

[ineverlived]

I would commit suicide after traveling the world. One of the things I regret most right now is to die without seeing my dream places such as Florence, Spain, Portugal, South America and Scandinavia.

 

[UnlimitedPain]

Maybe I could bribe a vet into switching me off.

But I would probably just leave it to someone once am gone

 

[jackie_boy1337]

Yeah.

No mount of money could ever fix the incredibly fucked up life I've had.

Probably just donate it to a local animal shelter.

 

[Blue_mist]

I was rich with a house, car, job, rental income, but i was as depressed as I'm now. In this year, I've lost all my money and i don't think money will fix me rather than giving me some temporary feelings of financial security. In the present time, i became more suicidal because of fear of becoming a homeless so having money could eliminate these fears for a short period of time. But I'll be always suicidal as being suicidal gives me peace of mind that there will always be quick easy way out.

 

[Ligottian]

If that came with a female concubine who was also a computer geek, cook, housecleaner, and who could do "handy work" and odd work and chores. I'd pay her well for her services. It just might keep me alive longer as well.

 

[BipolarExpress]

With a million dollars I could pay off all my debts, support some of my friends financially, and move to a new country, so it might reduce some of my suicidality—but not all of it.

 

[Sunset Limited]

Not a million, not even a trillion dollars can't make me young again. Besides, I still don't like this reality. Still, it kept me in this world until my mother died. Even $15,000 is enough for that. Donations are accepted Think about it, it only offers a few minutes of fun for some, but a lot for me. The world is a shitty place.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

It would be a good start yes please

 

[damaged_soul]

No amount of money could undo the trauma I've experienced. The only things that would possibly make me reconsider suicide (actual human kindness and empathy) simply can't be bought with money. If I were given a million dollars, I would use the money to travel to Bolivia, have a nice vacation, buy nembutal, and die, and then donate the rest of the money to charity.

Sadly things wouldn't change for me, as my health is destroyed. But I could use that money travelling to places to get that N, which would be the ideal method for me

Omg same! I too would use the money to travel to buy N. Great minds think alike

 

[plan c]

It won't change a thing really.
It appears that the mechanism to tell differences and feel hope inside me is physically taken out, so even adding a trillion dollars I would still be in the null-space of my senses like what I am now.

 

[Volo vent]

If i had that money i could fix everything

 

[juuvy]

give me 100M and i might consider spending it before ctb- still gonna do it tho

 

[WorthlessTrash]

It would maybe delay me CTBing for about a few months, possibly a year at most. However, money wont solve the fact that i was born the wrong sex from the very beginning.

 

[Uk2023]

It would save me!

It is being cold and endless boredom that starts my depression cycle towards suicide.

That money would bring me comfort and privacy

 

[SeenMoreThanEnough]

Me: I would take it with me when I jump from the tallest building

Yes, because I'm in my mid-forties and have battled depression since my mid-teens. Several years ago my (now-ex) wife and I won a mid-sized lottery. I would compare the happiness the cash 'injection' brought about to the same feelings of euphoria, bliss, or happiness that one gets from injecting certain narcotics -- it's temporary, and the underlying problems are still there when said 'high' wears off. Some people just can't be fixed. I strongly believe that.

 

[Hoga]

If i had that money i could fix everything

Same here.

 

[Thisisme373]

Tbh it would help my depression come down big time and I wouldn't be suicidal. It wouldn't solve everything but would take an enormous amount of stress away. Some of my bad problems involve finances, poor accommodation, work etc. To be honest it would save me.

 

[Sannti]

Even unlimited amount won't lower my desires to CTB, my reasons are unmaterial

 

[👁️👃👁️]

You know it's crazy how threads like this are allowed in Suicide Discussion, but one day I made a thread asking "how do you feel about your family in terms of suicide and how it's going to affect them" TWICE and they moved it to offtopic both times, so I was never able to have the discussion.

 

[MellowAvenue]

This question annoys me more than it should. It tries to make depression a materialistic issue when for many, many people it isn't. A million dollars can't make mental scarring go away. "Money can't buy happiness."

Also, honestly a million bucks ain't shit these days.

 

[Givenuponlife]

Honestly wouldn't change me at my core; in the short term, I would definitely use it to buy a house somewhere quiet and live off/invest the money in index funds.

 

[oneeyed]

Wouldn't be enough and as others have said, won't change much or anything at all. Still the same person. However, I would use that money to get N, bribe some vet/vet techs. Go on a nice trip to a country I want to visit, enjoy myself, hire the best looking escorts... Really enjoy myself. Then end it all in bliss.

 

[MideonNViscera]

No, because it would be enough to pay for therapy, get a place to live, and take care of other problems I have.
