I actually reached out tonight to the National Suicide Prevention chat online. I’m still on it in another window. It’s a little comforting so far. My urges to end my life aren’t so overwhelming now. Has anyone else had experience with them? I was actually kind of afraid that they would dispatch cops or someone to come take me to a hospital. It sounds absurd, but I’ve heard of it happening before.

Hotlines are good places to talk sometimes, and I specify sometimes. The only time police are dispatched to your location is if you blatantly say you are about to end your life.
I called one many years ago. No one came to my place. I was suicidal without being an immediate threat to myself or others.
Props to you for reaching out!
