Some layers don't understand how my mental health crisis works. Police should be able to help me, even if I incriminate myself a little bit.

NAS73676

To be honest, lawyer's advice is not helpful to my situation because I have serious mental health crisis, to a milder degree. I would rather confess anything to the police and explain that I have Bipolar Disorder and serious anger fantasies about killing my former bullies. I would rather get false accused of a crime at first and later on be found innocent and ask for help.

I know lawyers say that anything you do or say can be held against you in court, who the *** cares? At least it's the first step for me to get help.

I am sorry for venting, dear lawyers, please stop! I am not feeling well at all to not say anything to police. I am suffering in silence.

  • Well, I've just watched a few of the police interrogation videos, and I guess they have a lot of cases, and as long as they can close a few cases and get some bad people convicted and imprisoned, I imagine that it would be less for them to worry about while they are on the job on the streets. I mean I think they'd rather a bad person be in jail than doing something bad on the streets. 

    I don't think it's ever a good system to be guilty first and have to prove your innocence later. Why? Well it has to do with trust. If you are not trustworthy and criminalizing yourself, then people will just think you're lying about everything you say and do, and in that case, how are you going to prove your innocence? You might be relying on evidence to prove your innocence, but sometimes the police just needs some kind of confession in order to get the suspect imprisoned.

    If you want help, the lawyer is trying their best to help you. If you want help for your mental health, go to a psychologist. But don't put your bets on looking guilty and then being proven innocent, because you're taking a huge risk in doing so, and the lawyer is trying to tell you that it's not a good idea, and I don't think it's a good idea either.

    What should I have done instead? It was a police officer that seems to be older and seems to know how to deal with milder form of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and anger issues, like me.

    I feel bad now. I was not thinking in a rational way at all. Now I understand why lawyers are necessary, but I want special one that knows how to deal with me, especially when I almost incriminated myself to the police when I was depressed and had mild delusions of guilt. I was being too risky to myself, It not that I was NGRI, I kind of knew what I did is risky, but was incompetent to think in a rational way.

    I was 19 years old at that time when that happens 3 times, and I was lucky enough to be found innocent by police and once by two FBI agents.

    You do not have to falsely incriminate yourself in order to get the help you need. There's all kinds of support programs and health care professionals out there, and none of them require false incriminations in order for you to use their services. I am not referring to a school psychologist, I'm saying an actual psychologist.

    Why are you so certain that if you falsely incriminate yourself, and are then proven innocent later, that they will give you the help you need? How come you are so certain that things will play in your favor? Because a lot can go wrong, I mean if you stayed guilty for instance, it'll take a long time if ever, to appeal the judges decision. And even if you're proven innocent later, most likely the police will just let off the hook, and you don't receive the help that you were expecting from them.

    I mean, why don't you just try to find a psychologist that is experienced specializing in bipolar disorder, ASD, and so on? Why try to incriminate yourself?
