Of course it can, if you don’t make your rent or mortgage payments eventually you’ll be evicted. Now if your family supports you, that might delay some of the effects.
I’ve spent more of my adult life dependent on the generosity of my family than I have been able to pay bills by myself. It’s frustrating, because I want to sell the house and downsize to something safer/cheaper, but my family isn’t supportive of that.
I knew that that would be one of the possible answers.
Cant find a job cause you are depressed, can t pay the rent, find your self on the streets, becomes even more depressed and the never ending cycle starts.
I just hope that if I found myself in that situation, someone will help me get out of the streets, but that seems like a very plausible future.
D4E, that’s correct. Depression (and other mental illnesses) can have a very powerful influence in our lives.
I know when I experienced depression and burnout (from studying hard at school to get into university), I felt nothing mattered, I was stuck in a time warp so to speak. The days flew by and my education was suffering. After a couple of years, I finally snapped out of it and realized I needed to focus and then I began doing well in school.
Fortunately I lived with family at the time so that’s how I got by. However as you guys mentioned, if you live on your own and don’t pay rent/mtg, then you’re on the street.
Having experienced a lot of ups and downs in my life, homelessness is where I draw the line. But I also would never depend on people (like family) that I know don’t really care for me-aside from my mother.
Plus when you’re under someone else’s house, it’s their rules. If you have a supportive family they’ll help you get on your feet, if they’re bad people then they’ll make your life even more miserable, so each person would have to decide that for themselves.
I’m going to do all I can to remain self-sufficient and independent, but should my world come ‘crashing down’ then I will just opt for suicide.
I really wish I could say I had a good run in this life and that I did everything I wanted and while I did have some good times, it didn’t make up for all the bad times.
Also, I always close to getting what I wanted but never grasping my prize. In a way it’s worse to almost have it, but then be denied what you wanted or deserved due to some foolish mistakes or bad luck.
What I’ve mostly seen is a great life I could’ve had if I played my cards better. Nonetheless I’m still around and for now my life is doing ok and I’m striving to make it better.
I’ve given myself 10 yrs to get to a better place, since I think it’s plenty of time to make an improvement, but if that doesn’t happen or if my life falls apart anytime before then, I’m giving up at that point.
I’ve experienced near suffocation a few times in my life and realized it wasn’t all that bad I came really close to dying (not on purpose though) and it’s very easy to do….so assuming I can’t qualify for euthanasia, the ideal way to go, then that’ll be my back up plan.
I do see myself getting into homelessness, it’s the most logical thing to happen if things keep the way they are.
But there are ppl living on the streets and they are not suicidal, I think they just hope for a better life and still have some joy on the simple things of life, like the sunshine, the coffee, or whatever they still might enjoy.
I don t blame anyone that does it, because I’ve come really close to do it, and I was hospitalized because of that, but I still think nobody should do it and just keep living.
But I don’t want to tell ppl what to do and not to do, it s just my own opinion.
I wish nothing but the best in your life, and thanks for the reply.

Don’t do it Soda.
That’s what I’ve promise myself, to never do it!
