Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I can't respond to anyone's replies. It says at the bottom of my screen, there is an error on the page.
So here is my reply to phoning the police:
This site is not meant to be a crisis intervention center, but sometimes it turns out to be that way. I have called the police for someone else on here in the past. Whenever you do that without consent, you are taking the risk it is an attention seeking hoax, or that the person involved, even if they are serious, may not appreciate your help (at least, at the moment).
However, I cannot recall ANYONE, although there might be some, who regretted living through a suicide attempt.
My belief is, it is better to err on the side of safety, than regretting not taking action later.
Despite disagreements, I think it was the right thing to do to call the police. Better safe than sorry.
