Someone called the cops

[Baskol1]

Someone called the cops on me in another forum because i was honest about my Problems. What should i do now? I dont want to end up in a Psych Ward again. What if they see, that i post here on this forum? Can they demand that i show them where i post? Or should i stay calm and say everything is ok? I dont know when the will show up, but it could happen soon. Or should is kill myself before the cops show up? Because i really dont want to be taken again in the psych ward. What should i do, any advice?

Are you in the ER right now? You have to stay calm and say while you have depression you have no intent on hurting yourself.

No the User just threatened to call the cops on me. I will wait, maybe they will come, and i will say everything is fine. But what if they see my injury? Which is not of a suicide attempt?

Oh Lord, that's one more on my "Ignore" list . . . . . . .

 

[Baskol1]

I hate it when that happens, when people think calling the cops on you will suddenly make you not suicidal.

Oh Lord, that's one more on my "Ignore" list . . . . . . .

Are you scared of the police?

I dont know, there are no cops here, but it could happen if they find out my IP adress.

Wait, you shared your wearabouts to other people on a forum when you don't want to be found out or helped?

You've got to be joking, right?

No i dont share personal information, but the police can find out where you are even without personal informations. But it takes time.

 

[CURSED again]

OMG - thats terrible

thats horrible and incredible - we need a very knowledgeable user to see this thread and tell you how likely such an event could be - i have no idea but nothing surprises me anymore unfortunately

Do you unironically think that if the person calls the police on you, they will put their resources into finding a singular person in their country that's suicidal and the only thing they've got is their forum account? I doubt they'll get your IP address if the forums owner doesn't straight out give it to them.

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is that them finding out your location or possible even giving a damn is unlikely and to be honest, quite unreasonable.

It happened already once, but this was a few years ago, but i did not end up in a psych ward again. I was quite lucky. I dont know how lucky i will be this time.

which forum??
they have no authority over you, you don't have to show them anything, keep saying you are okay and you were only venting to feel better.

My injury could be suspicious, but it is not from self harm. Not a lie, its the truth.

are psych wards bad in switzerland? i imagine it would be a huge garden and lots of nice people and a swimming pool and lots of happy people smiling and running

I guess it depends on the psychiatric hospital. They can be quite bad i imagine, or good. But even then, they will not change my mind.
These people really think psych ward would change our minds, no psych wards arent actually that good in preventing suicides. It actually caused my first real suicide attempt.

Little late now for the current thing. But this is why you don't talk about it in general forums. Also if you are going to anyway, never log in without Tor, never give personal info, never trust anyone who you don't have a long relationship with over other secure channels. I know it sucks, because people need to be heard and understood...but it NEVER works in your favor and can have devastating consequences.

Re the current thing, Switzerland has some of the better privacy laws in the world, though still not ideal so its not going to be simple for someone to find you and unless you are threatening suicide for hours on end in some forum and livestreaming or giving out your address etc it's even lower priority etc. How did you log in? Clearnet or Tor? What sort of device?

Lastly...getting sectioned isn't the end of the world. Especially in a very modern place like your country where social systems are strong and people matter more than most places. It's surivable like everything else and MIGHT even help. It doesn't last forever. You can always get out and still ctb if you have to and just cannot find a way to live. So none of this is as worrisome as it feels like it is. And based on what you have said its unlikely to even be a problem at all.

No i just asked why i should keep living?
No cops here at the moment, but they could still come.

 

[Rhea]

Yeah, they'll surely come for you. Now just be paranoid for the rest of the week, waiting for them to magically appear.

 

[Empty Smile]

I'd just blow it off until it happens, if it happens.

If you have a gun, rope, or any other item that could show potential danger to yourself, I would hide them for the time being.

If they show up, be calm and tell them that what you posted was just a way to relieve stress and that you really have no motivation to ctb.

LIE LIE LIE!! It's how I've gotten out of the nut house.

Thats the same way i have got out too. Otherwise i would probably be still there.

wow so sorry

 

[Baskol1]

wow so sorry

Dont worry, im i have become quite good at lying, despite my autism. Without lying you dont survive.

Im gonna take a chance and hope my therapist has no time to waste here but I was on the phone with a government agent who had made a mistake they could not immediately fix (ie after office hours) and I was upset of course and crying a bit. I yelled at them and finally realized nothing could be done at the moment so I said I'm hanging up and going home. They would not let me off the phone, said I sounded upset. I said of course, you screwed me over and can't fix it.

Anyway long story short, they called the cops/ambulance/firemen to my door (no joke!!!) and asked me how I was feeling, took my blood pressure (it was high, duh) and wanted to take me in for that. I swore I was fine and refused the oxygen mask they tried to force on me, and after an hour I finally convinced them I was fine. They left but I had to sign a form that I refused treatment.

This was, btw, the second time someone had called the cops to my place, first time I convinced them I was A-OK and in no imminent danger. Trick is you gotta stay CALM. If you are freaking out, you're a goner. And Lie lie lie your ass off.
To this day, everytime I hear the sirens from cops, ambulance or firemen, I get majorly triggered.
