I've had some minor, indirect police involvement, but I am too afraid of the shame/disapproval of being hospitalized for a failed attempt or just ideation.

The police was first involved when they found out that I had carried prescription pain killers with me to school. After I had tried to take some to calm myself down, I realized I took a little more than I wanted to, and then I morbidly finished off the bottle with a "**** if I die!" mentality. Not long afterwards, I began to panic. A friend noticed the panicking and reported me. What I had taken was not toxic, but it was decided that I had attempted suicide.

When the school administrator explained the situation to some of my teachers, apparently they insisted not to charge or expel such a promising student. Thus, I didn't get anything on my record. I felt really sick after the 'over dose', but I think that might have just been the anxiety.

My estranged biological mother caught wind this parasuicide attempt of mine and called the police on my dad and then-stepmom. She claimed that they refused to provide me treatment for a suicidal condition (they had put me in therapy). They arrived at my house while I was being 'watched' at my grandparents. I was hospitalized for about five days when I was put on medication.

I do not believe that my biological mother did this out of concern for my safety, but rather another attempt out of many to screw with my dad and now adopted-mom. I'm convinced she may have borderline personality disorder. She has called the police on my dad before for "threats" and "physical intimidation" in situations where no communication/interaction could have possibly occurred.
