I totally agree with you striped_unicorn....but still record as much as you can. If only as evidence to assist in getting friends and family members to advocate for you. Journal entries including dates, times, witnesses and details of how you felt at the time all go a long way to proving your case as well. Be as emotive as you need to be when writing up events, as it will also be a reminder to yourself just how volatile the situation is.
Take care of you
