So I’ve just found out

That I have a warrant issued…

Arrest or pay penalty.

Keep getting sanctioned. Goodness.

May need to be unemployed for a moment… idk.

I don’t want to go to jail! I was delusional and psychotic.

I do not want to be a criminal and mentally ill anymore.

I just want to chat with friends and read books at a cafe and have a puppy.

Don’t be scared of me please

That’s a rough one. Just always put your best foot forward, show them who you really are

Hey thank you @Cragger

I gave my address to the district court clerk…

I’m paranoid they would send me police to apprehend me.

I hope it all works out and isn’t harmful to you. Like, hopefully it’s a small, affordable fine, or it can be taken out of your pay over a period of time

Yes it would be great if I could straighten up with with low expenditure…

But I am eligible in a county for a public defender, that is one positive note :blush:

No the court is not cool about it unfortunately. I’m trying to remain collected and calm through the process.

Jail will be hell especially that my mind is comparatively stable now then my prodromal psychosis era.

That’s the best thing you can do man. Keep your s*** in a pile, and let them see the good side of you. That’ll go a long way to lenience

Are you seeing a psychiatrist or therapist that you can ask for a letter or something from? Maybe they could explain things a bit? Let them know you’re in treatment and following recommendations?

That is a very good idea. I’m currently not seeing any, but psychiatrist and therapy sounds practical and feasible… thank you.

I hope my Medicaid covers it.

How in the world did you manage to get a warrant when you just moved?

Pretty sure Medicaid covers everything. If your area has a low income clinic or health system or whatever, I would call them in the morning. I don’t know how health systems work out there, but Google will usually get you to a few clinic options to call.

I had them while going through psychosis, before I left the states a year ago. I was not aware of it…I am originally from the states

Even the people at the district court were worried of me.

Apparently for bench warrant, in general the police will not come knocking on my door, but I should definitely stay out of the way of the police.

I saw a cruiser strolling by in the neighborhood, I don’t usually see them coming around here, so I got a bit paranoid.

I mean I didn’t hurt anybody.

Can we ask what you did whilst psychotic to face court?

Fingers crossed it will all be okay for you.

Thank you…Well Mae, I’ve heard voices and obeyed command hallucinations.

One of them is telling the law enforcement that my name is Abise.
