because of [trafficking introject] it's pretty hard to work with the police around this. i pursued it for a few days but then became disconnected from the officer i had filed the report with. my father (about 1k miles away) received a phone call from a different officer in the middle of the night, but did not take notes and was unable to get back in contact with them. we retrieved the vehicle from impounds but it took a month or two
i wasn't prepared to be homeless without gear or preparation or my daily possessions in the winter, and i got covid in overflow in a homeless shelter and kind of freaked out. it was wonderful to have the antivirus. it was like having access to air again every time i took it. but i was beat and my cognitive faculties had severely suffered (as well as my lungs) and i traveled to my family to have ease
i use my cognitive faculties to make good decisions in the face of my [trafficking introject] on an hourly basis using the things like the [complex woven semilogic in that torture victim double agent short]. so i was worried i could physically suffer worse in my condition.
i'm slowly recovering from this, but it's confusing [kind of like getting psychiatrically hospitaliz--
[i am in new england. the theft occurred in colorado.
[the officer stopped picking up the same time i got a phone. this is still very frightening to me i'm afraid. i have not been back in contact. i did report some posessions to the police, including the laptop but not in detail like in the thread here
OOOPS i left colorado with my car instead of ensuring i pursued my laptop and following up with the police further!
i am now attending a mental health program in massachusetts and recently applied to college here. i am still very interested in returning to colorado to follow up but it seems to take some delicacy (as well as wilingness to abandon those 2 things i started)
the biggest feeling challenge to returning is where and how to live. the car i was living in is no longer driveable, it's very very smashed up. (i could maybe pursue repairing it despite the cost -- i'd like to keep it intact though in case there is information inside that could help recover the laptop (like fingerprints)
my father bought me a new car to replace it. very very kind of him. i haven't slept yet successfully in the new car, i seem to be sensitive to the smell, and i haven't accumulated the same survival gear i had before yet.
but that is something i could do. basically if the smell is an issue i crack the window. i guess it combines with a lot of fear, after having my possessions taken and then getting covid, there's a lot of a sense of shock and intensity
[[other avenues and thoughts but that might be that atm
