No they can only call the police if you say your going to hurt yourself/someone else and I think they can call em if you say your going to commit a crime or just recently committed a crime.

yep. In Colorado before the shooting, the shooter's psych told the cops about threats and other stuff. They ignored it but it was there, so they are legally required.

Thanks but I know that therapy isn't for me. I understand that most people benefit from it but it's not for me.
Tegan, I didn't tell the therapist "I am going to kill myself" I just said that I am not going to promise him because I was being honest. I was in shock when I saw the cops because I always had this hopeless attitude towards my suffering body with other psych docs in the past.

I really am not looking for hope so it's ok to lock the topic since my original question has been answered.
Thank you
I am male because I say so and nothing more.
I don't have to look or act like one therefore.
