How do you react to Suicide-related questions?

Oh dear God, this really hits home with me! I don't actually have experience with a computer. Whatever I know, I've learned on my phone. A day or so ago, I saw a very real suicide threat. I am 55 years old, and am on meds for depression and high-blood pressure. I didn't know what the Hell to do. I called my local 911. They couldn't help. The police couldn't help. I called my cellphone carrier and they put me through to Yahoo, which kept me on hold. When a man finally came on the phone, he was obviously in India. He didn't understand that I was calling about a possible suicide. The line disconnected. I called my carrier back. They got Yahoo again. Yahoo said they couldn't do anything unless the police were involved. I'd been calling my local police from a second phone. The local police told Yahoo that my phone call was legitimate. Only then, did these bastards inform me that there was nothing they could do!!! I had pressed the report button before I made any calls to anyone. And...not realizing the danger I PUT MY REAL PHONE NUMBER ON THE YAHOO ANSWER I POSTED. When this person didn't call, and Yahoo never let me know they had seen this letter I reported, only then did I try those other things. A policeman stopped by and told me that having my real phone number on there was extremely dangerous. I had my number changed immediately. It cost me $36.00 plus tax etc. I had to get my youngest daughter to edit my post. The policeman said to give people who do this the phone number of the National Suicide Hotline. My daughter took out my number and replaced it with that number. I felt like a dang fool. What's worse is that I will never know if that person is okay. I don't think it was a hoax. All of this still really hurts me. As an added amusement, I got the phone number of someone of someone who can't pay their bills. I don't remember my new number, and bill collectors keep calling me for someone else. THIS STORY IS TRUE. MY E-MAIL IS CAT.SEANOR AT YAHOO.COM. I AM OUTRAGED, CONFUSED, AND HOPING SOMEONE ISN'T DEAD.
