Many years ago, I was in the process of trying to OD. My parents and family friend could not talk me down. They called the police. The police tried to break down the bathroom door. I opened it and told them I would go willingly. They said that once they were called, it was considered involuntary. I was forced to go to the state psychiatric hospital.

I will never call the police for mental illness again.

One time 10 years ago, the EMS responded. They were kind. Took me to the ER where my stomach was pumped. I don't remember anything after that. These were different states, btw.
