It’s only a single anecdote: when I was unemployed and housed - but had a significant savings - I was enjoying life more, making friends, exploring food and locations more, and generally having a good time. I was barely if ever considering suicide.

I’m employed now, but living in a homeless shelter, and I’m so fucking stressed, I often consider taking that final exit.

And when I was housed and employed, but barely making enough to get by, I was still more capable of handling life.

Housing should be mandatory for civilizations. Anything less, and we are the savages.

I think of me but I also think of children in abusive families trans people who aren’t supported etc like cutting ties should be easy does the government know that we have several people willing to work and pay bills but can’t because the next step is too high?

Cutting ties should be easy wtf this world sucks

Having a personal safe space can help. It can also become a shackling crutch.

External support is ultimately needed though, as a root cause is loneliness in an unwelcoming world.

Absolutely. No question.

It’s not a complete solution of course, but it’s part of one.
