Will the priest call the cops on me if I tell him I plan on killing myself soon. I want to get baptized before I kill myself, and I want to talk to someone and just cry before I go through with it. I'm not really religious but who knows, what if there really is a God? before I kill myself I want to be baptized and make peace with myself..

Salvation through Jesus (according to Christianity) doesn't require you to be baptized, it only requires that you ask Jesus for forgiveness for your sins.
Personally I don't subscribe to religion. But I know how you feel OP. I won't lie and say that there are for sure people who will miss you, or try to talk you out of it. But making peace with yourself is the best course of action, whatever that means to you. What makes you want to kill yourself?
As for the police, I don't think that they can reveal anything said in confession, but other than that I don't know.

>>81809591 (OP)
If it's a Catholic priest he's forbidden from telling anyone what you tell him. I don't know about other denominations. I forgot about the confession loop hole. I might have to talk with a priest soon too.

t. also suicidal, formerly Catholic

Suicide is one of the gravest sins, it's a complete rejection of God, and the sacramento you want to receive.
A handful of decides ago, suiciders would be denied funerals.
You can't be baptized if you plan on killing yourself. You have to believe in the Gospel and all that entails.

Still, you should talk to the priest anyway, troubled young men are a nice change of pace from all the bored, histrionic old women. You just have to find a time that works for him, it can be quite hard as there are so few priests nowadays.

Sacramento has nothing to do with the conversation. B tier literal who town.

I injured my back, I can't afford treatment, I live in pain every day. I just recently found out that I might have injured another disc below it, and unfortunately most surgeons don't operate on that part of the spine unless you're almost wheelchair bound, so all I can do is live with the pain, but it's not like I can even afford it so it makes no difference. Also, my parents are old, and I won't be able to take care of them anymore, I pretty much can't work anymore, I'll just be a burden to them.

That fucking sucks anon. US healthcare is a joke. Maybe you can get disability or pain meds but those wouldn't really fix anything long term.

It makes no difference now, it's not about the money at this point. I could go to school and get a good career, but for what? I'm only 25. My life from this point forward will be filled with limitations, money is useless when you can't even lift anything or bend, at best I'll just be surviving, I'm a walking corpse at this point. If this situation has taught me anything is how stupid all my previous beliefs were, being shy around girls, being anti social and not making an effort to make friends, all of that was so stupid, now I try to smile at everyone I see, and talk to as many people as I can, but that's probably because I know I'm already on my way out and nothing really matters to me anymore, this is me doing all the things I wanted to be doing but never did, it's just me trying to find some peace before I kill myself.

That's a good outlook to have, take what you can get. Any goals or things you want to do before dying?

Seal of Confession only applies to confession. There's no divine law over having a regular talk, though regular rules of civility remain, to not expose or harm people who confide on you.
As a sacrament, the non-baptized can't confess.
Mind it, confession is a ritual, it's formulaic like mass. You say the time since your last confession, your sins, how many times you commited each, then say an act of contrition.
Many times people seek the sacrament, when what they really want is spiritual direction, or simply talking to someone who won't uncharitably dismiss them.

I plan on climbing a mountain before I kill myself. It's called Eldorado in washington state. I plan on killing myself the next day.

>>81809955
That doesn't sound like a bad way to go out. Godspeed anon, sorry that you got dealt such a shitty hand. Eldorado looks beautiful.

I feel for you, Anon. People in chronic pain suffer so much.
I think you have a good idea in wanting to talk to a priest, Catholic circles have a lot of people with chronic conditions (as they're some of the few who don't suicide). In time, you might people who are in a similar situation and can offer you guidance.
I'll pray for conversion and the salvation of your soul. I have hope that your pain won't sink you to despair, but will configure you to God so that He may grant you eternal life.

I assumed OP talking to a priest during confession was a given. And if you're talking to a priest that thinks you're a pretty chill guy he'll let you do confession and a chat within confession. I'm familiar with the formula and have gone through confirmation.

Luigi?

>>81809955
You're not going to kill yourself at the summit? That would be real fuckin' neato if you did.

>>81809827
Let me guess, you got vaxxed.
