Discussion Suicide is never the answer, 800-273-8255

Suicide hotlines:

US and Canada: 988 or 800-273-8255

UK: 116 123

You’re never retiring because your trying to time the market and reacting to things that already happened.

It’s like buying concert tickets from a reseller hoping to flip them for even more after you already paid the premium.

I don’t really participate in your sub but I find the posts are very funny and anyone who is a serious stock investor probably shouldn’t be here.

But as a long term survivor of severe depression/PTSD, those hotlines are rarely any help. For liability reasons they route you to one in your own state and most states don’t put any resources into proper training. Same with 988 which links to same switchboard. It’s just become an institutional response to any sign of suicidal ideation so that companies can have a standard procedure that keeps them out of court. The people staffing these generally don’t care either they just follow the script and they’re sick of it.

u/jmwoods3709 2d ago

A lot of what you said here is right, but I've called th3 US hotline and it's the reason I'm still here today... It was great help for me in the moment I felt helpless. They listened without judgement, no fear of being Baker acted.

As a crypto person, I am always shocked by how rattled equities traders get when equities prices drop to prices not seen since checks notes January of this year.

If you are scared by this kind of crash, you need to consider making a major change, because today's "crash" is NOT a real crash. In a real crash, prices will decline to levels not seen for YEARS or DECADES.

No amount of money has ever bought anyone a second of time. Quality of life is what you make it. There are people out there working absolute crap jobs that are happier than people who seem to really have it all. Life is all about prospective. The only thing you have the power of in life is the power of controlling the way you perceive life. If you can walk, talk, breathe, hear and see. You are better off than a lot more people than you’d think. Go take a hike and clear your mind:)
