What? NO! NONONONO!!!

What in the actual fuck, NOOOOOO!!!

You NEVER call the police and tell them you want to kill yourself. Dude, NO!

Because that is who will come, the police. Maybe you will get lucky and get some nice, empathetic ones. But personally, for me, I wouldn't take that gamble.

Call the Suicide Hotline. Call the therapist that you should already be working with. Post something here or in one of the mental health or suicide sub-reddits. Call a family member or friend.

I've seen and read too many stories about people calling 911 with something like that and the police coming and it not going as you would think it should.

Edited to add: I can understand where you are coming from, but police are not trained mental health professionals. And I can tell you, if you are white, middle class, sure it might and probably will go alright for you. Hopefully. But if you aren't white. If you are below middle-class, for sure I would not take my chances.
