*Possible Trigger*

I've dealt with the police twice. The first time I was at Niagara Falls trying to decide whether or not to jump and had been at the edge for a time. Apparently, someone had called 911. The police officer was actually quite nice, but he did take me to the hospital but without any handcuffs.

The second time I'd gone to a walk-in counseling and, because I was suicidal and unable to keep myself safe, they called the crisis team. They were quite nice. However, it ended up in my police information check and I had to get a note from my doctor that I did not pose a risk to anyone else to get them to stop disclosing it. That really angered me.
