I don't know how it works in your country. But in the US, you can be committed involuntarily if you express a desire and a plan to commit suicide. OTOH, if you really plan to commit suicide and don't want to be locked up, why tell people about your plan?

I've been locked up several times for intense suicidal urges, plans, attempts. I wanted to be locked up until I got control. I wanted to be kept safe. Mostly I took myself to the ER. Once my husband took me. When I and the hospital staff felt I was safe, they sent me home. I never really felt that I was held against my will.

I saw people held against their will a couple of times - both in the throes of completely out-of-control delusional behavior.
