<prompt> Human: edit thank you all for your kind words and well wishes. Ive taken each reply very seriously. I suppose this post was initially my way of tidying up before I left but you all have turned it into something much different. One of you convinced me through PMs to contact via phone for a conversation and, as weird coincidence would have it, that person helped me to face what I would be doing to my wife and daughter by checking out by sharing his personal experience of growing up without a dad. Ill never be able to express my thanks properly to all of you random stranger who have shown me that Im never truly alone, even when shit seems at the worst. I still feel like I have a mountain to climb but Ive saved this post so I can reflect when things look bleak. Again, thank you all. Its hard to stay sad when I know there are always people out there who dont even know me that are willing to spend their energy on me.edit: title should read when, not if. Unfortunately I wont be around much longer. Neither of us can afford health insurance for ourselves or our daughter. Her salary is less than 35kyr and mine is negligible minimum wage 25hrsweek. I dont have life insurance. I have 8k in car loan debt. Together we have another 9k in car loan debt. Together we have 5k in credit card debt. She has 70k in student loan debt. We live with my parents and so have no financial obligations aside from our existing debt. I have 16k in a 401k. I dont know what expenses would be incurred when I die and Im hoping I dont leave them even worse off when Im gone. I dont have much time and I dont know what to do. Is there any silver lining to this situation or am I about to leave them in a financial tail spin? Any advice you can offer will bring me peace of mind. Thanks.  <response>: The nature of your posts and comments suggests to me that youre planning suicide : Forgive me if you arent, but just in case, Id like to throw my two cents out there. I attempted to take my life a few months ago and missed school for two weeks. Those who knew worried a lot about me and were really sad and angry and hurt and freaked out that I could have died. Then there were those I didnt think knew I existed - I got back to school with a bunch of messages from them asking if everything was okay, theyd noticed I hadnt been in class lately. The point Im trying to make - through example, because hell, this isnt about me - is that suicide doesnt take the sadness away, it just passes it on to all the people who care about you, even the ones who you dont realize care about you.It seems like youre pretty set on what youre doing, and I know that Im just some redditor who cant change your mind. But I cant help but try anyway: Please stay safe. I know how it feels to feel hopeless, to feel like the worlds gone to shit, to feel constant stress pressing in on you from all sides, to get so caught up in anger and depression and anxiety that your head feels fogged up with negative thoughts and it seems pointless to even try to escape that bullshit because it just chases you everywhere you go. I know what its like to get away from it all only for it to hit you smack in the face again.But Ive also seen the way suicide attempting or otherwise affects your loved ones. Seriously, theyd rather you stick around and suffer the consequences because youre worth all of that. Ive had a plethora of moments where I sat back and thought, Im glad I didnt die. I know that I cant do much of anything to change your mind, and that I dont know you or your life besides all of the financial stresses and that you have a wife, daughter, and parents. Youre entitled to make your own decision. I just figure that you want whats best for everyone, and I dont think taking your life is that answer. Take care of yourself, okay?
