for context, I am suicidal. I think about killing myself almost every day. Unsurprisingly, this makes it difficult for me to function in a professional environment.
I had already cut myself in the cooler and bled all over it. Had to be sent home early that day. Both manager and HR knows about this so they are well aware of my mental health issues.
Anyway, carbon monoxide may or may not be leaking into the interior of my car. I have been thinking about killing myself using this ever since I became aware of it. I'm in a bad episode right now, so it's been particularly tempting. I did not feel equipped to work tonight, so I told my boss that I couldn't work because I was suicidal, and he then asked if I could “get a ride” to make it to my shift on time.
Your boss is not your friend. Capitalism is a bludgeon against the mentally ill.
