When calling a suicide hotline, are there things I should avoid saying or doing?
I was told there are cases in which they'd call the police if you're vulnerable of actually trying something, but I'm running out of options.
Why are you against the police being called? They're not going to take you to jail, all they'll do is force you to go to a hospital to get a psych evaluation.
If you're really having thoughts of suicide then you need help.

Something just sounds very unpleasant about it, having to go through all that trouble and all.
Isn't it possible to 'fail' the evaluations, meaning in worst case scenarios, you could even be detained?
Why are you concerned about what you should or should not say? If you're feeling like complete shit just be honest and express how you feel.

As stated above, I was told there are case in which they'd call the police. I do not want to have to be put into a mental hospital (if it is true that they do that), mostly because I do not want to panic my family.

>i dont want to get better so my family wont stress
There's no one thing I can think of aside from making it clear suicide isn't immediately imminent.
