I'm fucking evil

[Left]

...I just called the police on my best friend.
He was going to kill himself.

He still may kill himself after he gets out of the psych ward.
He may hate my guts for doing this to him.

...I'm going with my gut instinct.
He CAN get better.
He has to do the work, though.  The same kind of work he assisted me to survive through.

...I am a ruthless, controlling bastard.
So shoot me.

How does this make you evil?  Sitting by while he offs himself would have been evil.

Seconding Roger on the Not Evil. Hope your friend is okay xx

See...I'm violating his right to self-determination, aren't I?
I can offer some patronizing shit excuses like, he's not in his right mind.
He isn't in his right mind.
But he is in pain.
Severe depression is pretty fucking hellish.

The only justification I can offer is that over the last year, I saw him fuck off. 
He needs to change his life, and he hasn't been willing to do it.
But isn't that his right?

The die's cast, the police are there by now, I expect.

He isn't in his right mind.

If he isn't in his right mind, he can't possibly practice self-determination.

[McGrupp]

Echoing what others have said, I think you did the right thing.

Selfdetermination may be important but think of it this way: If he really wanted to off himself he wouldn't have put you in a position to know he was going to do it. He would have remained silent and just done it.

He put the ball in your court and you made the play. Whether he likes the play you made or not, his self-determination remains intact.

I hope your friend is okay.

Very good point.

...I know when I've been there, it's not that I really want to die, I want the pain to stop.
...So I do and I don't want to die.

I tried to An Hero when I was younger. You did the right thing and he will forgive you sooner than you think.

Update, Lou is being sectioned.

Funny, the English PD actually updates you. 
I was expecting not to know for months if he was alive or not.

Probably was never mad.  Many suicides need someone to take control (cops, for example).  They can't exercise enough control to GET someone to take control, though, which is where friends come in (Hylie, in this example).

That's a happy and hopeful thought.

And it tells him somebody actually GIVES A FUCK.

He's my best friend. 

I'm strong enough to survive him, and I will, this won't be the first person I've lost to suicide.  He'd be merely the person I was closest to who did themselves in.
But I won't want to live for a while.

...BTW, just because he's "in hospital" doesn't mean he can't find a way to off himself in there.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

But there's also a chance he'll get help, too.
