(Vote please 🙏) Would you rather die tonight in your sleep or win 100 million in the lottery?

[CoRaven]

With 100 million I could finally make my dream of being a professional musician and actress a reality. I'd finally be able to afford surgery to transition, estrogen. Ultimately, if I end up committing anyway, hopefully the music I made saves others from seeing a similar end.

 

[DeathSkullDude1]

Pray for my death in my sleep please

pray for me as well. i just want to die in my sleep.

 

[Luke27]

All the money won't necessarily fix my problems but being dead certainly will

 

[Lavínia]

Lottery. Money is a big friend of my downfall, cause, y'know... have to work every day, keeping a smile and trying :D

 

[needthebus]

much of the reason i am suicidal is that i am poor and also partly disabled

if i tried to go on disability, i would be pressured to go on psychiatric medications i wouldn't want to take and would be afraid of being forcibly medicated

death seems a better options than having to deal with psychiatric medications and psychiatrists again and i don't feel like i can take care of myself anymore since my conditions keeps getting worse

psychiatric medication never seemed to help my disability, instead only leading to horrible side-effects. when i could complain about the side-effects and say the medication wasn't helping, doctors would write down i was improving and just try to make me take more pills. they only seemed to stop when i pretended to like the medications, then finally U got a job and was able to get away from psychiatry

with 100 million dollars I could just be sad, not work, and not be forced to take drugs. i'd be unhappy, but possibly not so unhappy i would think death is the only way out

 

[Defenestration]

on the one hand I envy a little those who are suicidal by the money...beyond winning the lottery there is still a little hope. me suicidal because of incurable illnesses (me and loved ones) so everything is ruined

 

[Defenestration]

Même 1% de cela résoudrait la plupart de mes problèmes

Same

Money isn't the answer to happiness. Don't get me wrong financial stability makes it a lot easier. But dieing in my sleep would take the taboo and unrightful guilt from my family when I ctb. No one would think they let me down etc.

 

[AAE]

I'd want to win the money because it would mean I could buy myself free of my abusive neighbors who caused my mom to age prematurely and die from the stress, a suffering that continues for me with everyone and everything not giving a single shit.

Once I'd secured a safe home for me and gotten the help to move since I'm disabled, I'd hire an assistant to help me with chores I can't do and then I'd give life just one more chance.

I'd make sure at least half of the money would go straight to charity and I'm not talking about donating to fake companies but rather have a fund setup for the sick and poor who society has left for dead just like me.

I could still choose to leave this world and donate the rest if I still just can't manage.

Point is, such amounts of money should be used to help people, not to pay for weapons/wars etc.

The thing with lottery is that the happiness from it doesn't last, as observed in the hedonic adaptation model:

Brickman, Coates, and Janoff-Bulman were among the first to investigate the hedonic treadmill in their 1978 study, "Lottery Winners and Accident Victims: Is Happiness Relative?". Lottery winners and paraplegics were compared to a control group and as predicted, comparison (with past experiences and current communities) and habituation (to new circumstances) affected levels of happiness such that after the initial impact of the extremely positive or negative events, happiness levels typically went back to the average levels.

If you want to be happy, do things for other people, altruism is only thing that is proven to increase happiness long-term. Selfish and materialistic acts are very temporary.


That being said, I'm currently not suicidal and in recovery, so I would choose the money because it would make my life temporarily better - I don't perceive it as a solution to anything. But when I was actively suicidal, I didn't care about money or other external events, and sudden death - in sleep no less - sounds like a dream come true.

 

[Defenestration]

Le problème avec la loterie, c'est que le bonheur qui en découle ne dure pas, comme l'observe le modèle d'adaptation hédonique :

Brickman, Coates et Janoff-Bulman ont été parmi les premiers à étudier le tapis roulant hédonique dans leur étude de 1978, « Gagnants de loterie et victimes d'accidents : le bonheur est-il relatif ? ». Les gagnants de loterie et les paraplégiques ont été comparés à un groupe témoin et, comme prévu, la comparaison (avec les expériences passées et les communautés actuelles) et l'accoutumance (à de nouvelles circonstances) ont affecté les niveaux de bonheur de telle sorte qu'après l'impact initial des événements extrêmement positifs ou négatifs, les niveaux de bonheur sont généralement revenus aux niveaux moyens .

Si vous voulez être heureux, faites des choses pour les autres, l'altruisme est la seule chose qui augmente le bonheur à long terme. Les actes égoïstes et matérialistes sont très temporaires.

Cela dit, je ne suis pas suicidaire et en convalescence actuellement, donc je choisirais l'argent parce que cela améliorerait temporairement ma vie - je ne le perçois pas comme une solution à quoi que ce soit. Mais lorsque j'étais activement suicidaire, je ne me souciais pas de l'argent ou d'autres événements extérieurs, et une mort subite - dans mon sommeil en plus - ressemble à un rêve devenu réalité.

Oh Big thanks for this

And very content for you if you are not suicidal and you are good

Jumping

Jumping

I've decided that jumping will be my method too. Do you have any pointers to make sure it's effective?

 

[Defenestration]

J'ai décidé que le saut serait aussi ma méthode. Avez-vous des conseils pour m'assurer que c'est efficace ?

High: 50 meters or more in hard.

 

[unfixablegirl]

High: 50 meters or more in hard.

The place I have in mind is 60 m into the water.

 

[Defenestration]

L'endroit que j'ai en tête est à 60 m dans l'eau.

Dans l'eau non... pas haut

L'endroit que j'ai en tête est à 60 m dans l'eau.

« Le facteur le plus important dans le suicide par saut est la hauteur. Stone2 affirme que sauter d'une hauteur de 46 mètres ou plus sur terre et de 76 mètres ou plus sur l'eau est mortel dans 95 à 98 % des cas. 46 mètres ou 150 pieds correspondent à environ 10 à 15 étages dans un bâtiment, selon la hauteur d'un étage. 76 mètres est la hauteur du Golden Gate Bridge à San Francisco. »

[MidnightCat]

Lottery ticket please.

That way, I know my family has been taken care.

I just need to pretend to be happy for two months and go and make "something stupid" with the money like escalating the Everest or something around those lines where I could die not seeming a suicide.


Win-win situation.

 

[Defenestration]

Un billet de loterie s'il vous plaît.

De cette façon, je sais que ma famille a été prise en charge.

J'ai juste besoin de faire semblant d'être heureux pendant deux mois et d'aller faire "quelque chose de stupide" avec l'argent comme escalader l'Everest ou quelque chose dans ce genre où je pourrais mourir sans avoir l'air d'un suicide.


La situation gagnant-gagnant.

Ok but not afraid to Everest?

But money Cant cure

It cures a HJGE amount of stress. I hate the 'it can't buy you happiness'. it absolutely can. Not having to worry about being homeless is my number one issue right now. Having a job would be a huge relief. So this is a garbage comment dismissive of my experiences.

hello, excuse me if I hurt you , yes I did Understand that given your situation it is different and the money would do you a favor. I was not paying attention to your situation, please forgive me

I understand good Luck for you and your mother

Thanks but you didn't understand if you missed the fact that my mom died. It's the biggest among many reasons that I can't go on living.

 

[Defenestration]

Merci, mais tu n'as pas compris si tu as raté le fait que ma mère est morte. C'est la plus grande des nombreuses raisons qui m'empêchent de continuer à vivre.

Ôoooooh Excuse me
