Judge MacDonald declined me for disability, so I’m going to kill myself. He doesn’t care, the state of IL doesn’t care, so goodbye
Judge MacDonald ruled favorably on my case. I have been dealing with terrible psychiatric issues for some time now. Imagine being on a phone hearing with strangers, when part of your issue is you can’t deal with strangers, and having a judge say “so why are you afraid to go outside?” Knowing that this guy was going to make the final decision to how the rest of ,my life was gonna go, and I couldn’t really talk. I just said “I’m scared, judge. I wish I could tell you why, but I can’t.” But this man saw the truth. He’s a great judge.
