The only reason they would call the police/ambulance is if you were an immediate danger to yourself. If you had expressed the intent to kill yourself in the next day or two. It's actually very difficult to have a person commited.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
