I called them for the first time ever back in February of this year due to my first manic episode. I was stoned 24/7 for a month straight after being illegally fired from my job. I was also smoking one of those mystery “mushroom” vapes during this time.

Eventually, I believed that my union had started a massive international social media campaign surrounding my case without telling me. This was exciting and fun at first, until I made a statement insulting Trump and Musk to some of my union siblings. At that point, I started to believe that I was the subject of a gamergate style hate mob and that my life was in danger.

At 3am after at least 2 weeks of very little sleep, I thought I heard noises from my phone that indicated a streamer that hacked me. At this point, I called 911 to report a stalker. Nothing came of the call, but my family knew something was wrong and gave me the help I needed. I’d be happy to share more about what I was believing at the time for those interested; mental health is important folks!

    Was working as a baker in a supermarket on graveyard shift. Only 3 people in the whole store, me and two cleaners. I heard a giant smashing sound from the front of the store, 3 or 4 guys broke the window nearest to where the cigarettes were stored. They threw down a tarp and filled it with smokes then threw the tarp into a stolen van and drove off.

    I called 9911 but the cops didn’t get there until they were already gone.

    Anyone wondering why it was 9911, I needed to get an outside line first.

      I used to work at a facility where, to make an outside call, you had to start the number with 91 like: 91-###-###-####

      However, dialing 911 bypassed the external call arrangement and just called emergency services directly. I have no idea who made that boneheaded design decision, but the local dispatchers were definitely not a fan of it.
