There's a reason why I chose the chat option instead of the phone option or going to the ER... It's more anonymous and private. I don't want the police or these crisis people pounding on my door at 10:30 at night .. and freaking out my neighbors in my apartment building! It caused a scene.

I know u say something out of usually so they think bad thing I just need someone to talk to not to be locked up

I've had the police called on me before so I always start the conversations out by saying they will not call the police.
I have talked to these folks quite a bit during the last year, and they haven't done that to me (although others have). So,.as a trained counselor myself, I can say a few things. First, it's probable that you alarmed them enough to cause them to call the authorities. They don't need your permission to call emergency responders if there's a significant risk to your welfare if they don't call. Their priority is to save your life. Yes, it would be nice if they let you know, but sometimes that tips the balance and makes people act out their suicidal urges before emergency crews can get there, which is life-threatening. It's out of concern for you..
