[Deathstar 80]

I forgot to mention something. I did hear that when the USSR economically collapsed, the suicide rate greatly increased. I want to let everyone know that when our economy collapses, there might be some who will think of committing suicide. I really hope this doesn't happen, though.

Just in case if this might happen when our country's economy collapses, my best guess of what to do about this is to inform your loved ones that you have a plan and that they're going to be fine. Afterward, you can then tell them the plan that you had prepared before the economic collapse occurred.


Just in case, I wanted to type this for future use: If the economic collapse has already occurred and you're reading this, you could inform your loved ones by simply reading this thread and telling them the information in this thread.


You could tell your loved ones after the economic collapse, but I would think it would be better to say to your loved ones that you have a plan before the economy collapses. I would think when the economic collapse does occur, this will help them calm down at least a little bit.

Here are the reactions to change that your loved ones might go through when the economic collapse occurs:
1) Stability: The present state.
2) Immobilization: Shock or paralysis to initial change.
3) Denial: Change-related information is ignored or not accepted as reality.
4) Anger: Frustration and anger as a reaction to change and often directed to those most supportive of the change effort.
5) Bargaining: Negotiation to avoid pending change, signifying that the person can no longer deny the change process.
6) Depression: A typical response to negatively perceived change, including disengagement and a decrease in physical and emotional energy.
7) Testing: Regaining a sense of control and seeking out new ways to redefine goals.
8) Acceptance: Change is responded to realistically, even though individuals may still be adverse to the change.

If there happens to be a psychologist here on the website or if you can talk to a psychologist about this, please help me with this. I'm not a psychologist and I'm only giving guesses that I can think of.
