I've only really been in what I would consider a bind once in my life, about 18 months ago...and I turned to my father. My parents are the only people in my life who I truly know will be there for me when I really, truly need help. Just knowing that is enough to help me get myself through just about anything.
well people like you are the reason why some people committ suicide, I mean if you have no one to turn too during hard times then why do you need friends again? I understand people have their own problems, but please don't go through life thinking that everyone who goes through hard times deal with it on their own smh

This is sad but true. We have become a society of "I have my own problems - deal with it." We are so busy trying to have the latest, biggest shiniest we've put humanity on the back burner.

Okay, thanks...people like me cause others to commit suicide This is an assault. Please point out exactly where in my paragraph I recommended this to anybody but myself. I thought this thread was for us to mention how we do it for ourselves, apparently I misinterpreted.

And fyi, I was talking in terms of financial hardship, not emotional distress. That's my fault for not clarifying.

Myself.
Because if its not one of those outside issues regarding the structure of society which I cannot easily change, it has to be a self inflicted issue that I need to work on, evade or accept.
If I get too tired I can always choose self inflicted death. Once I found out I had the courage to do that, nothing really bothered me anymore.
Except the possibility I may end up crippled in such a way I cannot end my life and that would really be a miserable thing.

Edit: I may use anonymous hypothetical questions to people to gain an outside insight on certain issues though.
Because sometimes a non involved party can see the situation in a more objective fashion.
And give you a real answer instead of something that is a mere pedantic comfort.

I do agree that that applies to some.

Its possible that some people do not have enough handle on self to actually help others.

What is the cliche about getting one's own house in order first..

I know that perfection is improbable because the way society is structured it makes it pretty much impossible, but if one is too damaged, then their advice might be tainted.

Must be nice to have somebody to turn to... Unfortunately, I have to resort to myself and I'm not the best advisor when it comes to me. When it comes to others, I may pull some decent advice. I wonder if others follow their own good advice 'cause I know I don't.
