never let debt kill you

by debt kid on June 7, 2007

I saw a upsetting thing as I was checking the analytics account for my business today. It wasn’t what I noticed for my business (stuff there is OK).

It was this journal.

Someone found this site by searching,

“is it time to kill myself? debt

debtkilltime

If you’re reading this now. Please call someone. Anyone. (go here…http://suicidehotlines.com)
Heck, leave your phone # in a comment on this post and I’ll call you. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is ever, ever worth taking your own life over.
I know you may feel overwhelmed (believe me, I understand), and you’ve made some mistakes. But you are loved. You are loved and if you try to kill yourself you will only end up hurting everyone else around you. Killing yourself is a cowardly act that is like taking a gun and shooting everyone around who cares about you.

When I was 18, I made the worst mistake of my life by attempting to kill myself. I felt like I had no other option. I was wrong. Get some help, talk to your family, a friend, or call that hotline. Please.
Debt sucks, yes. But not having you around, whoever you are, would be much worse.

I hope “they” come back and read this. I just wanted to thank you for being so observant and reaching out to one in need.

I already have been reading and admiring your character for a while – and now my admiration has grown.

Well done, you are worth much more than your ‘net’ worth.

Debt kid, good job.
