thought i got a welfare check - false alarm

[technicallyAlive]

teeny vent or whatever u call this + title might have been clickbait considering they werent for me, but basically tonight there were cops & ambulances and i thought " okay this is normal maybe theyre just passing by" until like 3 minutes pass and i still see flashing lights so now im like "okay, odd, but maybe theres a real bad emergency and theres just a long line of ambulances passing by" until i realized that no long line of ambulances was passing by, they were literaly parked RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. i was very quickly (and shakily) deleting anything REMOTELY relating to sasu or suicide from my phone. and while I was doing this i remembered a post of someone talking about how their welfare check happened at NIGHT? AND IMWAS LIKE HOLY SHIT HOLY FUCK THEYRE RIGHT THEY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD HOW AM I GONNA DEFEND MYSEFL THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING HOW DID THEY FIND OUT

some time passed and they were still here so i was thinking,"hmm, well if they were here for me then surely they wouldve knocked by now?" yeah no lol they werent here for me, they were here for my neighbor,, and they left shortly after. but regardless it was terrifying

ps, sorry if this was anticlimactic or clickbait or whatever, it was just scary</3

Hey, I'm sorry you had to go through this. The welfare checks combined with the BBC investigations have many of us on our toes here. It's natural to feel afraid in such a situation. I'm impressed you still managed to think of these precautions in the middle of the panic.

I think it's totally fine to vent this here - welfare check or not, it was a terrifying situation to be in.

Hope you're feeling calmer again today
