They were very nice, we talked a while, didn't reveal much, told them I was feeling better--I could tell they were playing dumb by trying to find out info, wanted to know what I ordered(like they don't know already!)what the website is(like they don't know already)told them .look at my nice place, does this look like someone who is troubled? They said no, you have a beautiful place--Nice guys, they did ask to come in and wanted to take whatever I had, but I politely said no, and they said fine, nice guys, no pressure
No, EM

Sheesh, what would the coppers do with all that kit ?! Wonder how much they collected from people that where freaked out.
I told them I appreciated them coming by at 2 PM instead of 2 AM lol
Who knows? Good thing I keep an immaculate house and that I was presentable, they emphasized that it was just a Wellness Check

Was similar with me. I had some planting utencils out because I was sorting out the balcony and plants most weekend but otherwise keep my home, and myself clean and tidy. I think it helped. Little do they know I sometimes obsessively do those things as a coping mechanism lol.
Yeah, they could see from the door and my window, my kitchen and my living room were in good shape and liked what they saw
Now, I'm waiting for any of my nosy neighbors to ask why police at my house? Although most people in my neighborhood are at work now anyway
Sounds like it went as well as possible. I'm not so sure they do/ did know that much actually. With most people, they've referred to it as a suicide kit. Plus- with the urgency they've shown with some people- I feel like they were told it was an urgent situation.
The officers I saw were also really nice. Probably should have just out right lied but I was reasonably honest. One asked to see it and where it came from- and I said- you must already know but they didn't seem to. They wanted to take it (obviously) but I also politely said- I'd prefer you not to. So- they looked at it (with gloves on) and handed it back. I made it clear I wasn't in immediate danger. I didn't feel like they were getting any more information than they have already- but I'm kind of surprised they weren't better briefed to begin with.
One kept refering to it as nitrate. I kept correcting him... don't want the bomb squad round next! I heard someone did get a visit once because they had got the two mixed up.
Your place sounds lovely. Mine was quite the opposite- a complete mess but it was obvious it was work mess- so- that worked in my favour. Busy people apparently don't CTB.
They were nice though. Still- it's thrown me for a loop. I've felt all over the place since it happened- and the calls with the crisis people were even worse. Very worst part of all is that they called on my neighbours first- no idea why. So- I don't know how much they heard on the doorstep. I don't know what's worse though really- thinking I'm vulnerable and in need of a wellfare check- or- thinking I'm in trouble with the police! I feel just SO bad for people who live with their family. That would have been catastrophic for me.

Yeah, can't imagine if I had kids in the house, weird that they called your neighbors firstSounds like it went as well as possible. I'm not so sure they do/ did know that much actually.

Or parents- sounds like some of the young adults here are now being ostracized because of it- poor things. I'd be utterly horrified for my Dad to find out. I've worked so hard to shield him from knowing the very worst of it all. I really would have had no choice but to tell him had I been living with them and I honestly don't know what the shock would have done to him. Plus- they wouldn't be thrilled to have police at the door- it's embarassing.
Yeh anyone who is getting calls now is well prepared (assuming they've been on the site in the past few days)-sucks all the same, but it makes a difference when you know it's coming and can prepare what to say/do.
Ah that makes sense, people were saying SN was used in bomb making but they must've been getting mixed up then?

WTF ! In the city I live in , if people around come to know that police are on someones door for something suicide related they will treat you differently. It affects EVERYTHING . Ability to make friends, find a partner, find a job(at least locally) . These people are just doubly screwing people like me over.
On top, I have not told my parents that I am suicidal . Knowing their son is suicidal from a police officer will completely stress them out on top of the stress they already have. They will not trust me with ANYTHING for the longest time.
Sorry this is not my thread but I couldn't stop myself from venting .

It's horrible how the police are doing this but it must be a relief to still have your suicide method. Best of luck.

Yeah, I'm just trying my best to act like nothing happened but I'm dreading that they may ask me one day. We're not all that close to be honest but I'm sure they're curious- I would be. They're nice though- at least. They texted a few times to see if I was ok- which I thought was really kind. Honestly- I'm just trying to think- we OUGHT to be more open about stuff like this in society. Plenty of people are depressed. Still- reckon I could have saved myself all this if I'd just answered the door with a string of sausages round my neck! Been vegetarian for a few years though.
