Hi yeah I'm from UK. Yeah it's scary how they just seem to know everything. Why did the police turn up at yours?
Yeah, it is scary. Well the first time, It was a quite a long time ago, I was in a bad place and had homicidal thoughts as well as suicidal. I decided to use this online helpline thing, assumed it was confidential. Talked to them about some things and the bad thoughts I was having. I felt I said too much so I exited and didn't think much of it. The next day an officer turned up and told me he was concerned for my welfare. But he was nice, we talked about it for a while and he told me I should talk to the psych I was seeing at the time and you know, made sure I was ok and wouldn't do anything and then left. The second time was a couple of years later. I was in hospital after overdosing, I went at 11pm and was still there at 6am. I couldn't wait any longer so I snuck out and ran home because I wanted to be in the house before anyone noticed. I wasn't thinking straight, forgot that they knew my details, didn't think anything was going to happen. Around an hour later, an officer was at my house. We talked and I explained. He was very understanding and understood why I left. He made sure I was ok mentally and physically before giving me some advice and leaving. I know not all the police are the same and a lot of people dislike them, but the officers I dealt with were really good to me. They didn't just brush me off, they actually listened to me and talked to me, they didn't judge me, they made sure I was okay.
