tl;dr left my flat with nothing but my backpack with my rope. Shortly after I was stopped by the police and asked If I was Elliot, declined and moved on another 300m where I was stopped and searched, they found my rope and I just ran, i must of got a good 500m until a 4th car stopped me.
After being handcuffed so tightly, I asked the police officer “it’s not fair that you can just stop me making my own life choices”
You know what he responded?
“No one would if you died anyway, you’re wasting my time… We don’t get a choice”
Now for a complete stranger and a police officer to say “no one would care id you died” hits home more than anything.
Then i spent the next 5-6 hours in a mental hospital temporarily sectioned.

Some people only care about themselves,… I’ve even heard er nurses with this attitude. Don’t take it personally it’s just them being small minded, they don’t even know you,… imagine how that prickly would feel if it was his daughter and another officer had said that to her,…. he would have been furious! People are inherently shallow, small minded and self absorbed
They just spoke about their children and how much they hated their boss. When i asked do they know what it’s like to be depressed and suicidal his partner turned round and said “you’re just doing it for attention”… Yeah 10 whole years of doctors, in and out hospital visits, countless blood half of which I kept to myself for “attention”. They questioned why I became so volatile.
Police officers have spent their entire career dealing with bullshit from total strangers. They’re not supposed to care about you as an individual, they’re just doing their job. Don’t take it personally. (He was probably in a bad mood for reasons completely unrelated to you; remember that he also has a private life.)
I’ve been visited by police for in suspicion of suicide and they weren’t remotely abusive, they sat and chat. This gut deliberately made my handcuffs so tight until they turned blue and a female officer came and loosened them after i had asked over an our ago. Telling someone suicidal “no one would care” is not acceptable. Sure if i had committed a crime and was fighting / being abusive.
Looks like I’ll just save up for dynasty.
I am definitely not standing up for the cop, but this is another reason why clean, legal suicide me+h0ds should be an option – emergency personnal wouldn’t have to be involved. No sectioning people. No body retrieval or clean-up. They should support our choice.
And it’s not like polic3 officers are the cream of the crop of our society,… no college needed, minimum requirements, they are basically glorified security guards. Don’t let that prick get to you he’s not worth it, fuck him
Something I am not getting here. Were the police called beforehand by someone who knew your intentions because it seems odd the police would be looking for you for no reason unless they were tipped off prior.
Also having a backpack and some rope is hardly enough to warrant some handcuffs unless, again, they were tipped off prior.
I am trying to understand why they were looking for you to begin with.
My girlfriend realised my rope was missing and i had left my phone and posted my keys in the letterbox so I couldn’t come back. She wasn’t meant to be home.
AH now it makes sense. Thanks for explaining it. That sucks though but you can also look at it as some ironic twist of fate. Maybe this makes her and you a closer couple?
So are you pissed she called the cops on you?
Can’t be angry at her for doing it just angry that they found me
Was wondering if you were still around…. How’s it going
Somehow, nothing works. Wouldn’t say chugging along more trying to get through each day at a time, losing more faith as time goes though so… It is what it is my friend!
