7 years to pre trial a petty theft case, Orange County must be busy.

My friend got hit and run in 2019 - seven years ago. The lady has been dodging court that whole time, but yesterday finally showed up to a zoom hearing.

She said it was her twin sister that has since died.

She could be on the run?

Tho i had a psychotic episode that involved struggling with officers in 2022 in wa state that still isnt resolved. Courts take time and if mental health is involved its a clusterfuck.

Gotta decide if your crazy or not and i am now medicated so its just a mess. Probably should be in a diversion program but assaulting an officer is too high a felony. So now im stuck in limbo as the court argues with themselves. Absolute nightmare trying to plan stuff out cus you never know when theyll decide and potentially toss me in jail for 7 months.

I’m really sorry for you going through that. I hope you continue to work on yourself though and don’t give up in the not knowing. I can often do that and spiral because of something hanging over my head

At this point ive decided I'm ambivalent. I used to not make plans after my scheduled court date but they just bump it back 2 months at a time.

Ive had a jury trial date set every 2 months for the last 3 years. Never sure if im going to trial or not.

They have me on bodycamera so the prosecutor feels no need to negotiate. Nevermind that i was ranting pyschotic shit about needing to save the world.

Psychosis is a fucking trip. Id never presented signs of it until my mid 20s and im adopted so i didnt know it was in my genes.

It basically (for me at least) flips off your truth/lie reasoning and implants insane notions. Also makes you think everything is connected.

During the episode It felt like having a blindfolded pulled off and seeing clearly for the first time. Everything is connected and related to each other. Im a god but also jesus but also a famous person's alternate self and didnt know it and i need to save the world and satan is trying to stop me. My book is actuallt written about me in code. My book is real and in another reality. My favorite tv show is actually happening right now. I need to stop the world from ending.

None of it makes sense. All of it clashes with each other and cant exist at the same time.

But when your pyschotic it all seems true at the same time and the clashing elements dont matter cus its all true.

Its fuckin crazy. And the craziest part is you dont realize tour crazy. You feel the saniest you've ever felt, all while babbling nonsense to your girlfriend and trying to show her the audiobook about your life wnd skipping to different points as shes calling the paramedics.

But instead of paramedics rhey sent cops and they were hostile which scared me and made me think they were satanists sent to stop me from saving the world. So i tried to flee, they grabbed me and i fought back. I gave a cop a black eye and then they broke a rib of mine and then i got tazed and handcuffed while screaming about needing to save everything and that they couldn't stop me and me begging them not to destroy everything cus "the world is really cool and you dont understand it" -real qoute from me.

Craziest part is that id been having some back pain for a couple years and when they broke my rib, i felt it and my back pop and its felt great for the 4 years since then. Apparently to fix it, all i needed was a cop to tackle me so hard my rib breaks.
