I'm not doing well -- to say the least.
I'm not thinking very clearly, but what I am thinking that doesnt' involve immedicate suicide is pretty damned simple: filing a formal complaint with the state of california. The problem is, I'm not thinking all that clearly, and can't remember *all* the things that I want to have documented on the complaint. Time is of the essence, because this is keeping me alive as much as anything else is.
Does anyone have the time and energy and caring to check through any of my old posts to see what I had to say about what's gone on? And, if we've emailed about it, can you forward them on to me at babbler39 at excite dot com? I know this is a lot to ask, but I need help, and I'm not getting it anywhere it's supposed to come from.
If you find posts that show what was going on, can you link to them please? I'll just print them out and try to go from there.
Thank you all, for everything. And, lest you think that I'm asking you to do what I'm not willing to do myself, I'll be working alongside you.

It's not worth going into though. I'll just hit the high point. That would be the three police officers showing up in our marriage counseling session, slapping handcuffs on me, and manhandling me into the back of a squad car to take me to the psych ward.
So, formal complaint, or suicide. You tell me.

Racer, I don't know much about your situation. But I see that you are thinking into the future with your reference to filing a complaint. That means you are not stuck in the present. To have thoughts towards the future is what is going to save you, hun. Stick with those thoughts and stick with your course of action. Don't allow your thoughts to tunnel into only the present. I'm behind you all the way, hun!!!!!

Racer,
i'm concerned about you! I don't know your whole history here b/c I'm relatively new. I'm horrified to hear that police took you away from the safety of a counseling session. Again, I don't know the details but I'm so sorry to hear that.I think writing out the formal complaint is a good, good idea. It's possible that you won't want to file it, sometime in the future, when it's ready and you're feeling better. Maybe you will want to do it. Either way, writing it will hopefully help you hang on to the idea of a 'better future'.
Please don't do suicide or SI! Please!
JenStar
PS- from a great writer like you, I'm sure the formal complaint will be the best-written complaint they've ever received.

hello there, chemist here...racer is a very close personal friend of mine, and is going through a very difficult time. please do not take offense: i am certain the well-wishes and good vibes are more than welcome. however, the request to pool former posts and forward to her is of greater import at this moment. if anybody here can assist as per her (and now my) request, please do so, and time is of the essence. feel free to babblemail me if there are any problems. thanks to all, and all the best, chemist

I'm not quite sure what we are doing. Are we searching for posts that Racer made concerning a certain topic, or just any posts at all? Is there a date that we're looking for? How far back do we need to look for posts? I'm not quite sure what she is looking for. Just any posts to do with the police?

If you can offer any more details that would be helpful

hello there, chemist here...posts that relate specifically to interactions of her with doctors/therapists as well as any drug-related stuff, good or bad. book reviews can likely be omitted, for instance, but posts concerning suicidal ideation, good/bad therapy sessions (with a number of therapists over the years), interactions with psychiatrists (in particular, Dr. Eye-Candy), anything that is not lighthearted, literature-related, etc. in short, all the pluses/minuses associated with her condition and treatment over the course of time she has been posting here....many thanks, chemist

Chemist - I remember a bunch of the recent stuff was ta;ked about on babble2000. It's easier to find dates starting there (fewer posts) and then that can be use to locate other posts. I remember there were some on social and some here.
Could you organize who looks where so we don't duplicate?

Go to google and enter the following:
racer candy OR eyecandy site:dr-bob.org
You should get about 4 pages. I think that's only 40 posts.

This is what I found. It may not all be useful, but better too much than not enough, right? I might have also put some in about your therapist, but they show the general frame of mind at the time.

But I'll be there tomorrow and should be able to forward all emails to you from the other computer. I've got the newer lap top with me so no archives.
Please hang in there and tell me if I can do anything else. I'll be home tomorrow...around 8 our time.
