I'm still in the process of going to a million court dates and all that. I'd like to know if anyone has been through it and what happened during court. Did it turn out good or bad for you?

..it's been pretty continuous for me Winter...years and years, particularly all of them. I've been charged several times for things during manic episodes. it's just been a part of my life to be getting in trouble.
then I go fine for a while ...like another person altogether. I never meet the 'criminal' me!....but the police do...paramedics do, other people do and have done.
the courts have taken into account my psychiatric instability and diverted me into the mental health system each time.....so far anyway.
...I'm dealing with another case right now thats more serious this time. A suicidal male with a knife is not a good situation for those involved and mis-understandings or not....regular people like ambulance officers are just not ready for it!
...today in fact, I have to meet with my lawyer...
yeah it's stressful and never-ending it seems ....but I have some real problems at times and it might sound a bit hairy fairy but I'm more interested to be a better person than worried about what the system decides to do with me anymore
sorry to hear you are going through stuff too....
