(My Restrainer) Hides A Great Shame - She Should Not Be Doing Social Work

I need to be honest about why I resist the unlawful action taken against me, then ratified by American courts despite the obviousness(My Restrainer) Hides A Great Shame - She Should Not Be Doing Social WorkMy Name is Daphne Garrido and I have always been a highly sensitive person. At times in my life, I have needed consistent levels of care and support. A former close friend of mine—whom I trusted deeply—ended our friendship in a way that caused me immense pain.When I felt the support of my family and community beginning to fade, disability flaring, I reached out to this friend repeatedly. I wasn’t trying to be intrusive; I was trying to explain the reality of what I was going through. I was struggling, and I felt desperate for connection and understanding. I hoped that if I could just talk to them, I could find the stability I was losing. They never once replied.During this time, I was experiencing a severe health breakdown, including a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder for classical schizophrenia. As my livelihood began to fail, I continued to reach out via email and online platforms. I was transparent about my health and my inability to cope with daily life. I had become isolated within an abusive surrounding. I believed that because this person had a professional background in social work, they would understand how I wasn’t acting out of malice, but out of a desperate need for help.Instead, they chose to file for a restraining order against me. They told the court that my reaching out was simply ‘annoying’. They did it after four months of letting me message every person in their sphere I could.Using the legal system this way had devastating consequences. They took messages out of context to paint a picture that ignored the reality of my disability and the extreme stress I was under—including the difficult process of detransitioning and facing systematic oppression. By doing this, they didn’t just end the chance at reconciling a friendship; they publicly harmed my reputation and effectively blocked me from getting the help I so desperately needed. It made me look dangerous to the very people who might have otherwise stepped in to assist me.After I realized I was trapped. I began reaching out again. They let me message them and their family for another four months while detransitioning and going homeless. Then they took me to superior court. I couldn’t even look at the documents, let alone attend.The most painful part is the impact on my daughter. We have been kept apart, and she does not know where I am or why this has happened. This person took a private conflict and turned it into a systemic punishment. They knew I was a disabled person in crisis, yet they used their power to escalate the situation rather than showing the basic compassion one would expect from a human being—let alone someone trained in social work.I have spent this entire time reaching out because I was drowning. Their actions didn’t stop a nuisance; they cut off my lifeline and created a lasting separation from my child, making it nearly impossible for me to manage even basic tasks, like filing taxes or navigating my health, on my own.Thank you for your time,DaphneMy Restorative Justice CaseMy Scientific Discovery of Independent Research This is a public episode.
