(CW/Self-Harm) apparently calling the suicide hotline can result in the cops showing up to drag you off to a psychological torture facility and being saddled with thousands in debt (hexbear.net)

This is why i never called a hotline (which i dont recommend, if you are feeling like youre going to hurt yourself there are hotlines that dont involve police)

cw: self harm

I ended up getting sent to a facility anyway after attempting and I can confirm they suck. The staff can be very callous sometimes. I wouldnt say theyre all bad but I definitely dont ever want to go back. My stints in psych wards ended up burning through most of my savings from the past couple years, and i was very lucky to not lose my job. Other patients were not so fortunate, and i feel for anyone who has been sent involuntarily
