When I had my first psychotic episode 2 and 1/2 years ago, I kept calling the object of my affection on both her house and dell phones. She promptly put out a restraining order against me. Her housemate followed suit, in what I can only guess was solidarity (or to stop me from calling her house, perhaps).

So I had 2 restraining orders against me for a year. I didn't violate either of them, so I was fine.

I even got thrown out of a bar within that year and was asked by a female officer if I was aware of the restraining orders still pending against me.

"Yes," I said, "That's why I haven't called them."

Anyway. It was fine. It's over. And it's supposably off my record since I didn't violate it.

That's my experience, for what it's worth.
