I'm hoping to get some help. I'm feeling suicidal but am afraid to call the hotlines cause I heard they call the police. Not sure how to get help.

Hi Lastsong, I hope you are alright. Do you have a therapist?

They will call the police if you want to kill yourself. But don't be afraid of anything! Just call am talk for a while. It helps. Trust me. Life is too short to live with fears, even shorter when suicide is the case. So don't take your life

They will only call the police if they strongly believe you are at risk to yourself and others but they can be invaluable to talk to when you are struggling. Sometimes just having someone neutral to talk to can make a big difference.

Please reconsider. It is what they are there for

I've had that problem too afraid to call crisis center because they do call the police alot of times, but if you feel that way you should call someone and even if you have noone call anyways, i feel like that alot and called on myself the last time and the taxi drove me there as i had asked them not to send the police. i had a 16 year old sister who committed suicide and that whole can never be replaced so don't do anything stupid think of all the people you'll hurt especially your mom if she's still alive, it broke all of our hearts and the pain never goes away
