Would you have?

So my cousin on a daily basis posts on facebook "I'm depressed"
but tonight she posted "I want to die"
Me and my sister started talking about it, and figured.. "Well, it's probably for attention, but how bad would you feel if she actually killed, or tried to kill herself" so we called the local police department, and they are sending someone over now.
Would you have called?
She's going to be pissed, but she obviously needs some sort of help.

Hell no, like you said she just wants attention. That's why she's posting it on Facebook.

is it against the law to be depressed?

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Hell no I wouldn't have called, that was pretty fucked up. She might have dr00gz over there you don't know about. Cops only cause more problems. I would have gone over or called, or called a mutual friend that was close enough to visit her.

I would have called your cousin up and gave her an open ear so she can talk about her problems. If possible, I would go over to her house be there for her in person.
How are the police going to deter your cousin from committing suicide?

Well guys. She has a thyroid problem, and takes pills to regulate it, unfortunatly these pills keep her from dying, or going into a serious coma or some shit, she's threatened to stop taking them before. She keeps posting replys that aren't comforting to read
so I don't feel bad in calling.

You're all so ignorant.
Just recently someone posted on their facebook "I want to kill myself" not a single person called the cops, the next day she was found dead.
Get real, and stop living in your fucking bubbles of "No cops, don't worry"
I tried to kill myself TWICE, and it's because someone stepped in I wasn't able to do it. Granted, I didn't post I was going to online, I still needed help, and that's what she needs.
A big to all of you.

Honestly, I don't think it's a bad thing that you called. People like that more than likely just want attention. And if they're posting shit like that to get attention, and they're not actually planning on killing themselves... they probably need to learn a lesson, a lesson which a cop visit would probably solve pretty damn fast. If she's not in danger, which she's probably not, the cop will just talk to her real quick and peace out. If she is in danger, then she will get the help she needs. It was a bold move, but I don't think it was a legitimately bad decision. The fact is, when it's someone you care about, you just can't take chances when people say/do shit like that. You know it's probably nothing, but you just can't take chances. And because she's probably just trying to get attention, she shouldn't be rewarded for that (aka giving her sympathy, calling her on the phone, catering to her, etc...) that is rewarding her behavior, teaching her if she posts shit like that she can get sympathy and the attention that she wants.

Your cousin is depressed so you called the cops? That's ridiculous.
