So, yeah... I screwed up last month. I had something trigger me after a very long and tiring (physically and emotionally) day and it ended up with me getting arrested. It's a very minor charge, non violent and non drug related misdemeanor, but it carries up to 6 months in jail.

The crazy part is it started with me trying to help someone and wound up with the cops starting an argument with me and putting their hands on me because I reached for my phone in my pocket.

Anyhow, I have applied for a public defender but have not been assigned one yet and have been directed to ask for a continunace of this case tomorrow morning. My rational mind is telling me that everything will be ok and that I will be granted the continuance, but.... my stress levels are spiking through the roof.

I have nobody to talk to and I'm just... yeah.

Thanks for letting me rant.
