(35 yr old, over-educated white British male). Yes, I see it everyday- lost a few guys I know to suicide, and I'm on pretty heavy anti-depressants.
When all you want in life is a good job and a warm home, with a loving family, and every step you take towards those goals is blocked, yes, drink and drugs (and finally taking your own life) seem like the only option.
Firstly, a job- I've been unemployed since 2010, trained as a scientist, but they don't want White guys in the lab, due to "diversity", so you try any other job , "British don't have the work ethic", or "wouldn't fit in with our workforce"- two of the responses I've had this week. So you feel more and more worthless with each rejection.
Without a job, can't afford to get a house, apply for social housing- bottom of the list after everyone else- you see people come into your country and get houses before you mere days after arriving- you're "not a priority". So without a home or job, how do you impress a woman enough for her to have a relationship with you ? Exactly, you can't.
So what's left- nothing. Left trying to find something to stop the pain. For some of us, only ending it all works.
