What the actual fuck...

[Sleeper System]

So I'm at work. I go across the street to a corner store to buy a water and some snacks. This dude I know who buys at my job that I talk to every once in awhile comes in. He says hello and buys my stuff for me. I'm like OK that's pretty weird but I say thanks.

Then we get to talking and he just breaks down. He tells me he just came from trying to jump off a ledge and some older lady talked him down. That is when I noticed he was drunk and actually in the store buying more beer.

He starts telling me about how his wife is a piece of shit. His two sons don't wanna work or do anything but bullshit. He owns a power washing company and he's like brother I made 10k last week and it doesn't mean anything. My kids don't want to work and their mom spoils them and won't let them. I can't find workers even when I'm paying 200 a day for 5 hours work. And the work is easy. My mom died last year and my brother forged my signature on some documents and took control over all her assets and estate worth a few million. He is in the court system now and it's gonna take two years. I was literally so shocked he was telling me all this.

He tells me he tried to kill himself 3 months ago. Took an obscene amount of edibles and narcos and cut his leg so he would bleed out. Showed me the scar. It was intense. Said he did it in his drive way in the far back out of sight and some how someone found him. He spent 3 weeks in some hospital against his will because they just dubbed him crazy. Nobody in his family gave a fuck.

Then he tells me he has one more way out. He's going to try to get in his truck and do something with the tail pipe to go to sleep in his car and die like that. I was almost speechless.

I told him hey man I understand how you feel. More than you know. People are just tired and want to leave this world and you are not alone.
He said OK thanks for talking to me man ill see u on the other side and walked off. Like wtf...

Something inside me wanted to talk him put of it despite having the same hopeless feelings he had myself. But one look in his eyes and I knew that nothing I could say would reach him. I understood him. All I could do was just say OK man I'll see you. And that just happened about 20 min ago.

I had to come on here and type this shit because wow. What are the odds...

Seeing someone going through what you are and just seeing their body language and callous eyes was kind of scary. He was serious.

Idk. I hope he finds some type of piece. Shit is wild out here.

I regret not talking people out of it, but they were closer to me. If you see him again, you could tell him to get a divorce, sell his ailing business, and retire. He might be too young to retire though. I suppose he could put wages up even more, if he wanted to keep it running.

We are living in strange times

To me it is not surprising that so many people are suicidal as life is so cruel and unfair, and there is so much suffering that exists in this world. Many people come to the conclusion that life is not worth living for them and many cannot cope with the pain of living anymore. I hope that all those who are gone found peace.

This guy is probably middle to late 40s. I don't even know him that well.
I hope I see him again but I'm not sure I will.

You sure he wasn't just fishing a bit to see how you are? Do you give the "I want to kill myself" vibe off at work? Just another take of the scenario. Might just be me, though, because I don't trust anyone anymore.
