I was at Community Alliance today, which is a place I've mentioned before. It's a place in my city where people who are mentally ill or suffer for addictions can get help and support. Well, today I was sitting in a grief group and we were all sharing how our Thanksgivings went. I shared how mine went and then the woman to my left starting telling a story about hers. The guy directly across from me got up and stormed out of the room for no apparent reason. He came back near the end of the group and started screaming various swears at me and saying he was "going to kick my fat ass." He was taken out of the room by Kim, our instructor type person and he ran outside. Sangeetha, the program supervisor and also an instructor, came in and asked if everyone was alright. We all discussed it for a minute and Sangeetha told us that she thinks he was having a paranoid schizophrenic delusion that I was talking shit to him. (Not in those exact words.) So after grief group it was lunch time. I was standing in line to get a plate and that same guy comes up to me and says he was going to kick my ass again, and started holding up the line. I tried to walk past him and he shoved me. Then he shoved me again and punched me in the jaw. At that point a few of the program leaders had restrained him and were practically dragging him out the back door. I had not even attempted to swing back at him, which was kind of a first. His punch didn't hurt for long, so he either hit "like a girl" or I can take a hit better than I remember. I'm fine now, and I'll be safe going back to CA tomorrow. He's been discharged from the program. I'll also be talking to my dad tonight about whether to file an assault charge or not and what to do in either case.
