Anyone here live in a country where police don't care about the suicidal

[thetwilightzone]

I live in Ireland and although our healthcare system is equally as shitty (probably shittier), one thing I like is that once you are 18, the Gardai don't give a shit about you killing yourself. Since it isn't a crime and since families can rarely bring lawsuits, their isn't as much concern if you report someone who is suicidal.

The police even hinted that if I wanted to kill myself, "that was my problem" but that I leave my parents alone. I see here of an unfortunate guy who was sectioned after his mother called the police.

Does anyone here live in a country where the police don't care and/or your family doesn't care if you kill yourself?

I don't know how about UK, but I wouldn't risk exposing my scarred parts and wounds to police officer getting suspicious. Damn, I've heard they could forcefully lock one in psych ward. Risky as hell...

Doesn't seem like a bad thing to me honestly.

Edit: I need to read. You like it aswell. Nevermind.

In my country, the police really give a shit! Never thought it would be that way in Ireland considering it is a religious and conservative country (abortion is considered murder)

As it should be. But that is probably a topic for another forum

I think it has to do with lawsuits as I said in this post. It's harder to sue here in Ireland and thus for, the police don't really have a need to prevent a suicide. It's just dismissed as a tragic mistake.

Also suicide was illegal in Ireland until 1993 when it was decriminalised.

I have told many people (nurses and doctors) about my suicidal intentions (except my parents), they listened and that was it, so I guess it's the same thing here (Spain). Funny because they are giving me the meds I need to kill myself and they don't even notice it.

I never told them "I am about to kill myself" but I doubt they would actually do anything (the nurse who gave me injections didn't seem to give a shit). Maybe if you look dangerous or something like that.

The last thing any serious self-motivated person is going to be scared of, is the police/any other human. The last thing on my mind when going through the unpleasant process of obtaining substances/equipment was any sort of societal construct getting in my way. But I will say the lack of compassion and reason in society is indeed immense.

Seems like they are pro-freedom.

In the US I don't think they give af once you reach 18 or 20. But they have to pretend to by law.

Yes it is.

In most first world countries they detain you immediately.
