Getting suicidal thoughts
I don’t usually share like this, but I’ve hit rock bottom. I lost my job recently, and I have no money left to pay my EMIs or even my basic bills. I’ve been trying everything I can to stay afloat, but nothing is working out.
I’m honestly having thoughts that if I’m gone, at least my family could survive from the 1 crore term plan I have. I don’t want it to come to that, but I’m feeling so trapped and alone.
If anyone is willing to help me financially, or just talk to me, please DM me. Even a small gesture can make a difference right now.
Thank you for hearing me out.

Quick points & general advice. You're in the same boat as many many people who would have been at this point at some point of time or the other in their life. You're not alone. Insane ideas pop into everyone's heads when you let your mind wander or ruminate. Don't stay idle. Keep problem solving and keep busy all the time, engage with your friends to help solve for it - many of us did because job searches are best done via networks & in general it helps when more heads are solving the same problem. First off, you need to get a new job and you'll get one soon if you are flexible. The EMIs can't take over your life. You may want to sell the asset. Look at the problem, figure out solutions in a cold calculating manner and only focus on solving. Nothing else matters. Also, money is the most useless replacement for a person - I've been to enough funerals to make that statement.
Consult psychiatrist and take immediate medication, this is to stop you take drastic step and give you some breathing time to process situation.
