I don’t know where to post this. I have lived a life of misunderstanding and pain. Compounded in the recent year. I lost my loved one due to my incompetence to understand and emulate the normally functioning people. I tried to make good friends to deal with this ( I am in a new town). I have been prayed upon by a predator and now face jail. And because of my flight I am facing jail. I am somewhat happy to discover this forum, where I can find some morally functioning human beings. I don’t know how to cope. I keep learning/searching/processing information from everywhere but i can I cannot put any of my knowledge into action. I cant go to jail...... My experience of life has been hard to deal with without this obstacle. I have researched suicide as an option if court goes bad a chemical that I can take and die within minutes to save myself from all of the misunderstanding. I want to live so I can continue to learn, I never want to stop learning. I don’t think I can deal with the aggression that normal people exhibit in jail, I have many strategies but profess that I think they will not suffice. Any small strategy will suffice no matter how small I need help.... I can go into allot more detail but I am trying to make this not a 3 page post at least. How do you cope? Not even maybe cope how does one learn to be "Invisible" and not to try to teach or help. To blend.... Do I explain myself? I know that this many words will not suffice even what I had typed would leave holes in my explanation. Help....

I don't know the extent of your legal troubles...so, I cannot adequately advise you.

However, if you are subjected to serve jail time, has your lawyer considered the possibility of the arrangement in having you serve your "time" in a psychiatric facility where you can get the mental health services that you apparently need?

You'll find understanding here. Welcome to WP!

I agree with Zsazsa, get a lawyer. There are some affordable ones out there, and you might be able to get free aide depending on your economic situation and where you are.

A jail sentence would only be temporary regardless, no use putting a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

And please ask for a psychiatric evaluation. I don't know if there is a way for you to atone for whatever crime you did, but if there is, you should mention you want to. That can put you in a diversion program if you can prove that you are now not a flight risk.

We visited a friend last week who has been in prison for a few years now and number more to go. He keeps his head down, challenges no one, shares goodies with people (coffee) and has not been assaulted yet.
