TRIGGER WARNING: The following interview may be triggering.

A 702 listener called in during the open line and expressed how he was suicidal and had nothing to live for anymore.

The 37-year-old man from Alexandra says he has a drug addiction and struggles to make ends meet.

Galeboe explained how his life has reached a breaking point and Eusebius extended a helping hand.

I grew up as a confused young man and abused. I am still confused at 37 and have three boys who I don't know how to look at, they love me too much.

— Galeboe, Caller

I am calling to the show because I am about to do something, I am about to call it quits.

— Galeboe, Caller

Everything I do turns to be wrong, adds the shattered Galeboe.

I've got no position in this life, I have no sense of identification. What is the reason for me to go on?

— Galeboe, Caller

I am alone in this, there is nobody I can talk to and understand what I am going through. I am always looked down upon.

— Galeboe, Caller

He adds that he is living alone and his parents always tell him he will amount to nothing.

They say they want nothing to do with me. I have been unemployed for the past four years. The only thing that keeps me on is my firstborn, who says: 'Go tla ba right' (Things will get better).

— Galeboe, Caller

What I want for myself is to be a better person and change completely. I want to be a part of this world and live for something.

— Galeboe, Caller

Broken after that call of one of my listeners experiencing suicidality on the phone, not sure what the point is of living - unemployed, feeling like everyone judges, not able to provide for his kids... We are a broken society with broken people. My tears feel feeble. #702OpenLine

Ohhh @Eusebius the delicacy, humanity and grace that you handled that call left me teary. To hear a grown man breaking down on radio and other man allowing them to be that vulnerable, reminded us that we don't have to die. @Radio702 #702openline
