I called them for the first time ever back in February of this year due to my first manic episode. I was stoned 24/7 for a month straight after being illegally fired from my job. I was also smoking one of those mystery "mushroom" vapes during this time.
Eventually, I believed that my union had started a massive international social media campaign surrounding my case without telling me. This was exciting and fun at first, until I made a statement insulting Trump and Musk to some of my union siblings. At that point, I started to believe that I was the subject of a gamergate style hate mob and that my life was in danger.
At 3am after at least 2 weeks of very little sleep, I thought I heard noises from my phone that indicated a streamer that hacked me. At this point, I called 911 to report a stalker. Nothing came of the call, but my family knew something was wrong and gave me the help I needed. I'd be happy to share more about what I was believing at the time for those interested; mental health is important folks!
sometimes... the 911 operators had machines that connected to a shitload of audio sources simultaneously.. think all emergency service radio bands (police/fire/sheriff) as well as the land-lines and cellular networks... this was back before texting to 911 was a thing.
i was always testing external radios and phone sources. the cell providers were the worst (at the time).. sometimes 911 would work for Primeco but not Verizon or whatever so each cell provider had to be tested independently.
it was just weird first doing it as i grew up terrified i would accidentally dial 911.
It was all that extraterrestrial PCS technology.
