Would employment change your plans?

[WitheringAway]

I'm currently unemployed thanks to COVID but I'm in a field that is high demand and I won't have a problem getting another job. I've started interviewing.

But would a job or some other positive life change make you change your plan to ctb? I don't know what to think as I apply for jobs. It's not going to change how I feel about myself or life but it will keep me busy.

yes a job would fix my problems

Unfortunately not for me. I am gainfully employeed but still feel like ctb will be sooner rather than later. I feel like I live only for others and not for myself.

I'll probably land a job in the next week or two (and I just got a new therapist this morning) - I feel guilty that they will be at least inconvenienced when I ctb.

Absoloutely not. I'm the daughter of a succesful entrepreneur that hasn't been hit by covid, so basically I'm very good financially speaking. Suicidal than ever.

 

[AnxietyAttack44]

No

 

[Leshen]

If I was forced to get a job I'd definitely ctb much sooner.

 

[SodaBaconWeed]

If I was guaranteed a Long term job where my antisocial behavior didn't matter then yes I wouldn't want to ctb but Im so bad at communicating, especially things like customer service, that I see no hope.

 

[Bigyeah]

Possibly. I haven't been able to work since 2017 because of various health issues and it is definitely one of the largest reasons I feel my existence is completely fucking pointless, not to mention unemployment is the main reason I'm trapped and stuck in my current living situation.

You couldn't have said it any better. Mine is a similar situation but unable to work since 2016 due to mental health issues. Most recently has led to the loss of a 10 year relationship with the love of my life, and wife for over a year during that span. Everything has brought me to rock bottom and just want to CTB ASAP. I don't care what anyone will think anymore...

'I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now...'




Though to be fair, I've given up even looking.

Honestly right now this is what I need it wouldn't fix my emotional issues however working these low end crap retail jobs aren't working for me. I had some interviews however nothing is opening up. I just want to get away from my childhood household so I can be at peace I'll still CTB but I feel income
Would help.

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case it would just make me even more suicidal. It would make me ctb sooner. I would really struggle at any job and I am the type of person who gets easily overwhelmed. It would just cause more stress.

 

[Sittichmutter]

A job can help. And If it has a purpose, a goal that you like, It should definitely help you to feel better.
But do not be naive. You will always work with people. And people Will get on your nerves too. My experience, about 70% of people I work with are nice, 20% assholes and 10% unberable motherf#&#@#s.

 

[FutureNoomp]

Fuck work. Hard.

 

[greebo6]

It might , depending on the job , possibly postpone it for a while. It might be nice to be employed.... at least for a little while. Permanent unemployment is very unpleasant and difficult.

 

[Deleted member 8579]

Fuck. Work hard.

The miracles of punctuation.

 

[rivertone]

Job: no, I actually already have a pretty good job.
positive life change: I am planning to kill myself because I don't think I will ever be able to get a girlfriend, let alone get married. So yeah if I somehow get a girlfriend in the next couple days then I'll probably live a lot longer lol

It could've saved me a long time ago. Nothing gets better. It's playing keep away with money, age, living wages, a place to live free from domestic violence, education…. I think if I committed suicide at 12 it would've saved all the fighting for a good life or a better life or a place in life. Nobody ever included me and just kept me on the outside, miserable, just because.

My fucking job makes everything worse.
