Here's my story. In 2003 my sister called the police on me
to do a mental evaluation on me upon there arrival, I was
arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. I
was take to rogers memorial and from there to waukesha
mental health where I was there approximately 1 month. I
was found not guilty by reason of mental defect and placed
on probation for 1 year. I had social workers or case
workers not sure which or if there is a difference. They
wanted me to get on ssi. I was unemployed since 2000 and
struggleing to survive living in a pole barn. My P.O. told
me not to go on ssi as it would cut into his retirement and
I would turn out worse. When I left the mental health
facility the gave me a month supply of depekot. My sister
moved my things into a storage facility. Got me an eye
doctor appointment and contacts so I could see. When the
end of the perscription ran out and I tried to get it
refilled it cost $90.00 I didn't have and wasn't about to
ask my sister as she had already spent well over $1000.00
on me in a very short time. I became very depressed with
thoughts of suicide and began drinking again after I had
been sober for over six years. This led to my 5th DUI
which has now made me a felon. While I was incarserated
they sent me to a work camp so I could get a job and be
able to get on my feet. After a month at being at the work
camp they called me in and told me they wouldn't give me a
job becouse of my disabilities. I asked them if I could
get that in writing but they wouldn't do it. Sept 4 07 I
was released to the salvation army in waukesha broke. My
current PO insist on me getting a job even though the
D.O.C. would not give me one. Luckily for me the Salvation
Army has Case workers there. I have an exceptional case
worker there name Dana. She is working with me to get ssi
for mental and physical disabilities. How ever this leaves
me very angry at the DOC in the first place I don't believe
the PO I had on the case that I was found not guilty by
reason of mental defect had any business telling me not to
get ssi as it would hurt his retirement after the social
workers were trying to get me the help I needed. I admitt
I didn't like the drug they had me on but I believe that
would have gotten worked out. I believe that I would have
taken my life if it weren't for the fact I was at my
sisters brand new house. I also believe that had I not
gotten so depressed after the depekote ran out that I would
not have return to drinking. I just recently found out
that I was diagnosed scitzophrenic in 2004 thanks to the
work I've been doing with Dana. I never knew what my
situation was before here. I thought I was bipolar becouse
that is what I was told depekote was for so I believe I was
bipolar. I don't feel the PO's should interfere with
social workers who are trying to help you especially just
after being diagnosed scitzophrenic to help there own
cause. Please email me at renegadescharger@yahoo.com if
you think I have a case against the DOC.
Thanks Scott
