Why would someone call 911 if they are feeling suicidal?

I don't know, why would anyone anything?

If you're suicidal you might not be thinking clearly, and emergency numbers are associated with help from a young age, and if you feel like you're in a real emergency and you need help...

What I mean is why not call suicide prevention? Why 911?

Maybe educate people when they do wrong? Instead of judging them as stupid or wrong?

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Because they likely didn't know about other options.

988 is the national suicide hotline in the USA.

Being suicidal, or even depressed, sorta implies they are not thinking clearly or able to make good choices. Alternatively, maybe they just didn't know of a better option?
