I lost my job in December. Since then, I’ve sent out dozens of resumes and haven’t gotten a call back. My savings are running out and debt is starting to mount up. My anxiety has gotten so bad that when I travelled to see my mom on Mother’s Day, I spent the whole trip worrying that there would be a fire that would kill my cat. In fact, I worry that the cat won’t come back every time it goes outside. I’m thinking of taking a camping trip and just… Not coming back from it. I’m not allowed to talk about methods. But I wrestling with whether or not I should make my death look like an accident. I have life insurance and if my death is ruled accidental, my family might get a payout. But they also might not because of my drinking. Also, trying to make my death look like an accident would lower the odds of successful suicide. But an obvious suicide guarantees my family won’t get a payout. Any thoughts?

barring recently, I’ve always thought towards the ‘accidental’ methods. figured it might be more considerate for people who know me.
maybe look for a job placement agency. the work might not be what you’ve sent your resume out for, but it should pay til something comes up.
I think u should definitely do just that
Keep looking for a job, try moving to a bigger city if necessary, you can work anywhere, don’t let that be the reason why you’re leaving
So sorry about your current situation. I feel like a hypocrite asking you to live when I myself am on here for the same reason you’re here – looking for answers on when and what and how – reading between the lines.
Still I want to say to please live. Hold out longer for a new job. Please don’t give up. In the meantime can you do side jobs just to tie you over? can you do uber or lyft? It’s something while you keep sending out resumes. Have a garage sale or use etsy to sell your stuff. Look into google ads through a website. If you run your own website and you get lots of traffic that’s a good potential moneymaker especially if the topic is popular.
If you go in a non-accidental way, your family loses out twice – no payout and more importantly NO YOU! ??
Good idea
I’m doing that soon as well
Eternal camp-trip
^^ Aww don’t go.. 🙁
Well, you could always come up with a method that the cops would say, “Nobody kills themselves like this!” I spent time thinking of that very method and every time I would read about someone else who actually did it..
Nah..just hang in there. OR as BTO (Bachmann Turner Overdrive) once said, “If you ever get annoyed you can become self employed..” that’s what I did..
It’s really hard to be jobless. But it’s not hopeless, there’s definitely a way out
Life insurance rule for suicides is 2 years. You have to have the insurance for at least 2 years and they will pay for a suicide
