It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I’ve been really busy with work and such.
Things are going rough and I on’y have until the 30th of this month to turn things around or I’ll lose everything.
These are my choices:
1) Default on my storage units and lose all mine and my late husbands possessions.
2) Sell my body to come up with $400 by the 30th.
3) Chain myself to a tree in the middle of nowhere tonight in soaking wet clothes and freeze to death.
Out of those options, which would you choose and why? What do you think I should do?
I’m working, but I don’t make enough money to pay my bills. I’ve been looking for a second job, but have been having no luck. I’ve worked various seasonal positions in a couple different warehouses here but the one I’m working at now is slowing down already and so I may not get anymore hours there at all.
Getting another job lined up will help me for next month, but won’t pay me in time to pay my storage fees. And I have nobody that I can borrow the money from, at all. I have nothing to sell except my car and my body, and I have to have my car for work.
Suggestions? Ideas? Anything.
Thank you very much for reading and any advice given.

Well to be honest, is the things in storage really that important? Why don’t you look inside and see what you truly need* and sell what you can that is not. You can also donate blood/plasma and bone marrow. I wouldn’t sell your body, because then you’ll feel like crap afterwards. I think being mentally scarred is a lot more harder to deal with than physically. Have you checked out craigslist?
Option 3, it’s certainly not worth dying over, you’ve made it through a difficult time recently, don’t give up now. Option 2, Selling you body, you could but how would you feel afterwards? Has to be option 1. I remember you had muliple units, would keeping one and transfering the most important items to it be enough or have you already done that. I know it’s easy for me to say lose some items without the emotions you have with them, I’m sorry, but it’s the only way I can see of getting yourself on a firm footing, not working to store all the items. I’d hoped you’d not be back EK, hoped things would be going your way now. Please don’t die over this, not tonight or any night, there’s a way I’m sure.
I can’t get to them. Too far away and already locked out of them. Either I come up with the money, or lose everything my husband and I had. Photos, keepsakes, heirlooms, books, movies, etc. Everything.
Ignore the comment below, you need to keep the photos, keepsakes, anything personal. I don’t know what to say though, if you can afford it in the future, is there any way of getting part of the money now, then getting there later and reducing the number of units?
Before I say anything, i’m going to tell you to disregard my comment, and just reread nias’.
Option 3 and a bottle of vodka doesn’t sound to bad, though.
But, like I already said, disregard that.
I was thinking rum, myself… Haha.
I can’t get to the storage units because they are a 4 hour car ride away and my car can’t make the trip.
Is there anyone you know who lives closer, or anyway of getting there, have you spoken to the storage company. I don’t want to sound too cold on this, is there anything that you really, and I mean really don’t want to lose, that a clearance firm couldn’t clear it and retain any really personal items for you. I say this as I don’t want you to kill yourself, I don’t know what else, but not death.
The units are locked. And yes, I’ve spoken with the company, their hands are tied, or so the manager said. The only way to even get into them would be to have $400 in hand. I have $100, so would need to come up with $300 more. Well, technically I have the $400, but I have to pay $300 in rent that was due on the 15th. So yeah, pretty much limited on options.
I am sorry things are not going well for you. Your story was a heartbreaking one. Are there woman’s centres there you can call asking for help? I remember you mentioned your mom, could she store some of it? Maybe you can ask a church to store it? They will often help even if you are not religious.
I have to admit that when I first starting reading your post I thought you might be asking for money again. I recall you getting some money from people here actually. I also believe your last post, that got deleted, was you trying to sell us suicidal people, insurance. I also recall how angry you become when no one here was to thrilled about that. So just want to say I really hope you do not start with that shit again.
Wow, thanks. “start with that shit”. I won’t start if you don’t start. And no, I wasn’t selling insurance. I shared a number that people could call to lower their insurance rates and save money. Was trying to help because I know that for many people, money is a big part of the suicidal equation. And yes, I get defensive when people tell me that I’m being something that I’m not and treat me with little respect. A flaw, I guess.
Take your attitude elsewhere. You took suicidal peoples money. That’s low. Like really fuckin low. As far as I am concerned you sure as hell are NOT welcome here.
Wow, then don’t comment on my post. I didn’t TAKE anyones money. I believe 2 people sent me money after emailing with me for a while about it, and I offered to pay them back when I could, and they refused to let me.
At any rate, that exchange was between me and them and is none of your business. Sorry you have such a problem with it, but it’s clearly -your- problem.
Are you fucking kidding me? You come to this online community and take money from people and its not my problem? Like fuck. These are people are my friends you swindling *****. You even tried a insurance scam! Like wtf???!!! And you made a gofund me account and posted it here. Repeatedly! You are not wanted here! Get it?
Then start a petition, cuz to me it seems like you’re the only one telling me to leave. Go have your hissy fit elsewhere. I’m just asking for advice here. Don’t be such a ____.
And I’d like to point out admin deleted your post cause they didn’t want your insurance selling scam here either. Just fucking go. Quit causing people stress.
Get off my post. Your negativity is not needed here. Thanks.
Oh geez, a lot of history here I don’t know about, but it looks intense….
I was just going to say that if I were desperate for money, I’ve always wondered if I would go the egg donor route. I mean $3-4K?? Not too shabby as long as you don’t mind an awkward potentially mini-me running around later in life….. Hawkward even.
lol that’s an understatement.
Go have you a ‘fucking’ great time and sell your body especially if you like sex and its a option.
^or that. That’s fine too lol
I remember all those post from a while back. I too thought it was very shady asking for money on here. There are a lot of vulnerable people on here and taking advantage of that is not very nice, whether you meant to or not.
There is someone in need of help, come on guys! Let’s be a bit respectful… If she did or not.. who knows.. but this post she is asking for help… I hope you are ok evilkitten, i suggest you only keep the most valuable items like pictures the rest you can let go.
Respectful??! Are you serious? Do you let people scam your friends? Do you see someone take advantage of people suffering with mental illness and give them respect?! Yeah she asking for help…financial help. She left this site 2 months ago after a fit when some of us asked her to stop trying to sell us suicidal people insurance! And now she comes back when there is new people here (a few regulars stay but many new people come and go constantly) and her first post is about money. She may not have asked but if her other posts are anything to go by its just a matter of time. And when I asked her to make sure it doesn’t start she gets defensive. no apologies, no shame. And you want us to give her respect? She made not have came her looking for money originally but once someone offered her some from sympathy then it started. She even made a gofund account and the only time she was here was to remind people of it. Where was she treating any of us with compassion or respect?
pure scuzz grease move
Maybe you should read ALL my posts before you start judging me to be a selfish “taker”. And I came back because all I can think about again is killing myself. I thought that was what this site was about. I never asked for money. A few people reached out to ME and OFFERED, and after some extensive email exchanges, I accepted. WHY DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON? I needed help, someone offered some, and I accepted. Simple. I didn’t coerce them. I didn’t force them. I didn’t steal from them. And yet, that’s how you’re treating me. Like a damned thief. To all you “new” people on here, I encourage you to read my previous posts before you judge me. I’d prefer to be remembered THE WAY I REALLY AM, and not the way “Whispers” makes me seem. He took offense at me accepting help from fellow members on here, and completely mistook my posting about the insurance thing. IT WAS MEANT TO BE HELPFUL. I didn’t “sell” it, I offered. If you find a way to save money, and you share the trick or whatever with friends or family, are you SELLING them something, or just trying to be helpful and pass the info along to people you care about? Cuz that’s all I was doing. Passing it along.
I didn’t take offense that you accepted offered cash even though taking cash from people suffering from mental illness seems really scummy. However, when you started asking for hand outs then yeah I damn well did. And they can’t go back and read the post and comments on your insurance scam. Why is it? Oh yeah! Admin took it down cause it was a scam on a suicide site. That’s right! A scam.
And I post or comment here most days and yet you don’t have a clue that I am a woman! That says lots as you spent a lot of time here. If you had taken time to show kindness and compassion to everyone then you’d know that! But you don’t cause you were too busy asking for money from us instead.
Compassion, sharing, support…that’s what this site is about. People like you, who take advantage of people (especially the mentally ill), have no place here.
That was kind of them to send you money. There must be some good people out there.
If your possessions are important enough for you to sell your body or commit suicide they wasted their money.
fuck that..she already knows what she needs to do. both other options are facetious. its bullshit
