Oh, I am from NY and still live here on Long Island. I was down visiting my older brother who moved to Matthews in 2020 with his family. May I ask why you were a fugitive at that point? I am very intrigued
About 3 months after I finished high school I was in college. Got my associates in a condensed 15 month class in computing and electronics in early 2004 and worked doing remote support for the local ISP for a year then was called into the office one day and let go for performance issues. Found out a few weeks later they moved our whole department overseas and everyone else was let go after. My depression got worse at that time and I ended up with massive drug and mental health issues. (Always dealt with depression and PTSD due to childhood bullying and sexual abuse) Ended up becoming addicted to heroin and most all other opiates. Inpatient and outpatient drug rehab, two stints in a psych ward, too many ER visits to mention, 5 overdoses, antidepression meds, seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist, stretches of being homeless and a ton of other shit. In early 2013 I finally quit opiates and all hard drugs, was taken off my antidepressants, mutually stopped seeing my psychiatrist and psychologist, and got a job fixing computers and other electronics which I still am working at almost 11 years later. Turned my life around too a degree and now I just stick to Marijuana after work, on my days off and the occasional psychedelic trip like I took today with some Psilocybin mushies I took at 12 PM.
