The police took me to the ER or psych hospital once or twice, all I remember is feeling weird about getting in the back of their car and noticing the seat was a smooth bench instead of regular seats - which makes sense. They were nice to me. I don't think they were involved in any of my suicide attempts except the last, but due to ECT amnesia I'm not certain. With the last attempt I was really out of it but think I remember them showing up first, me unlocking the car and showing them my note and what I'd taken, then I think they kinda stood around until the paramedics came.
I feel comfortable with the police here and know they've gone through training for dealing with people with mental illnesses. I'm also reserved, never "difficult", so emergency and treatment personnel tend to like me okay.
