How to speak

I have to speak in court, and defend myself against very terrible person who's filed a request for a restraining order. Because of a noise complaint I made, she's saying I kidnapped her, poked pens at her eyes like daggers, corner her in the halls, lunge at her, berate her friends. And a good one is that the property manager and I are friends and are conspiring against her. She never gives any reason why I'm doing all this, and she never called the cops or filed a complaint with the prop manager. Because these things never happened.

I won't talk any more about her here, because she's nothing. I have to go into court and reduce her to what she is, and that's the struggle and the anxiety. I have the truth on my side, and she has insane allegations and friends and family willing to bear false witness.

I have such a hard time being in a confrontation and being able to breathe. I can shake and loose track of thoughts. So I never get all the information out. I always think of it later. And actually speaking - that's hard. I don't like to speak much.

The court date isn't until 3 weeks from now, and every friggin second of my waking life is filled with this mess. This is soooooooooooo stressful, and I get to listen to her noise above me the whole time. It's kinda like hell.

Thanks for reading. I hope you are doing well today and being kind to yourself.
