I have called a suicide hotline. They determined that I was a danger to myself. The police came to my house and took me to a crisis center where I was held against my will for seventy-two hours where other unsupervised, unmedicated residents of a facility for observation before being released.
If I am ever suicidal again I'll just skip the suicide hotline. They were no help, and those seventy-two hours were the worst of my life.

Yeah, that’s pretty much been my experience with our “mental health care” system as well. Well, that and pills that don’t work (for me). Maybe it’s just the world that’s sick.
