To get my FL REAL id the clerk at the Sumter County Sheriff/Government building on CR466 asked me NOTHING but a bunch of questions. This was a few days ago.
One was whether I had ever been adjudicated mentally ill. I said NO which is true. I did have a nervous breakdown in 2000 around March or April but was really only out of my mind for 4 hours at the most and all I did was blurt out whatever came into my head with no thought of the consequences. Many people I have met do that anyway. And I rolled on the floor at home in Palm Harbor, FL.
I yelled out 224 and 613 at the intake person at the hospital (Clearwater, FL.) and then proceeded to tell anyone and everyone who would play them in the Clint Eastwood directed movie. This was after I got into the ER area. I did hit a nurse when they got upset that I would not shut up and had a number of people hold me down and she stuck me with something that drained the energy out of me.
This was in 2000.
A worker where I was at after the hospital (in Pinellas Park , FL.) told me to shut about about my story and just get along with people and take my meds. So in a few days I was out on the street. Been pretty good since that nervous breakdown of 4 hours or so.
Started volunteering in a library (Palm Harbor Library, FL.) around June of 2000 and the first thing I did was tell the Library Director that I had had a nervous breakdown but was on meds and OK. Then started volunteering at a second public library (East Lake Community Library, FL.) a few months after that.
The State of Nevada section of the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (W.I.C.H.E.) in September of 2000 had found my work fighting for access to practical information in libraries as suitable for my using my MA in Librarianship. The practicality of the materials to be determined by actual survivors/victims of crimes whom I did contact in many ways to see how useful they found materials in their community libraries. Findlaw back in 2002-2006 or so and then Facebook were ways to find out what victim/survivors of crimes thought about stuff in their libraries. It is about them and their needs with respect to useful information. I have a hard time defining who is a victim/survivor as it depends on the facts in each case. It could be the defendant in certain cases.
