I don't remember exactly what number I called. I was in a motel room, with pills and thought I would call as kind of a last ditch effort to talk to someone who might convince me there was a reason not to do it. This was the eighties. I called and an automated voice said something along the lines of "if you're in crisis but not suicidal, press 1. If you are suicidal, press 2., etc.". I couldn't believe it, but was a little desperate so I punched the number for suicidal and the recording said "please enter your phone number." I hung up immediately because I did not want the police showing up. I took the pills and thought that was it, but ended up waking up the next day."
