I don't believe in locking threads...

A lot of people had things to say... I did.

The need to talk about this will run it's course... better to let it all get thrashed out, then to leave something bottled up.

I can see where Doc John is coming from... but at the same time...

I was thinking, this is sort of tangential, that back in 1997 when I had tried to kill myself and was in the hospital after they revived me, the police came and took me to jail for having overgrown Chamisa, which is a New Mexico weed/shrub in my front yard.

It was very upsetting to me.

At one point I was seeing a psychiatrist, this is the first session, which I'd gotten my neurologist to okay with my insurance.

I had wanted to see a psychiatrist because I'd seen R.D. Lange once in London and he was great, I mean inspired.

Okay, so I was telling the psychiatrist about the hospital/jail thing because it was such a constant source of worry to me, always scared kind of thing, and the psychiatrist said, "I know you believe that happened, but I know a lot about the judicial system, and I know that couldn't happen." He stressed that he believed that I believed it happened.

I got so cold, I began shaking from how cold I was.

I obviously never went back...

I think I have the papers from the court part of it on my site somewhere... let me see if I can find a link... so that you aren't tempted to think that I "believe" this... alone.

Okay, so I think this thread is a bit like that...

(though I can't put the likeness into words)
