Physical Effects
(A list of physical effects experienced.)Having 24 hour a day verbal harassment. Having images put into my dreams for over three years now. I have felt electric jolts to my legs and body. I have hallucinated various images: from people not moving their lips when talking, alien landing craft, race wars outside my window, a man I was in bed with appearing to take on female characteristics, my face becoming lined and wrinkled in front of a reflecting glass, and in the same reflection, an image that I was underneath and looking up my coffee table at home. I have been hallucinated that images on TV sets were perverse in shows that I had often seen before. I have felt while lying my bed ‘waves’ of energy like rolling pins, passing through my body. I have been jolted awake by images that they inserted into my dreams. Whether an effect of them of my reaction, I have ran a mentionable distance in flight from their fear induced setting and have not been winded. It seems God has taken a like to me, because it appears that clouds stop when I look at them.
Physical effects should probably also include being jailed repeatedly for reporting this, while in jail of steam coming through the vents of the cell. Of being taken from jail ‘room’ to an interview room with the arresting officer and no one talking. Of being put in 72 hour mental hold after being taken from my home, of having people deliberately act out what their verbal harassment is saying to me in order to increase my fear, of having a friend of mine pretend to draw an imaginary line of a drug on his nightstand. Of being followed by white vans with government insignias and of being accused of some form of child neglect in caring for my daughter which was never formalized as to the degree of crime I was charged with but which ranged from neglect to abuse and which was not charged, but which I had to repeatedly show up to court for at a time when they first came into my life and the hallucinations and fear were quite great. Of my public defender at the time saying if I plead guilty, I would only have to go to classes. Of consulting a Civil Rights lawyer and him saying not to fight.
