Brevity is important, however the story is long.
I met a girl and have been with her for 11 years, we were never legally married. She had her third and final miscarriage 1 year and 3 months ago. It went miscarr. - miscarr. - surgery - surgery - last miscarriage. I basically freaked out when I was told, ate, at best estimate, 28 xanax, the blue ones. My intention was suicide, however instead of passing out, (bits and pieces of this were told to me second hand), I went into a rage, stole a computer off a desk (don't know the amount $$ yet) ended up in the parking lot with 2 cops, 2 security guards to take me down, later at the jail it only got worse with 11 deputys basically beating me, still have a mark on my leg. They through me in a cell where I tore a desk out of the floor, it had 6 bolts into concrete. Then the cops came back and finally kept me in suicide watch, they strapped me in a chair which i escaped from repeatedly. it took me 3 days to stand again after i finally passed out. Now, all this is totally out of character for me. It happened at, unarguably, the very worst time in my life. My last chance with the woman I fell in love with as a boy. Took care of as a man. Nurtured through 2 miscarriages and 2 surgerys. I knew when it happened it was our last chance. So i'm going to start a huge argument with 2 words. Insanity Defense. What are the consequences if I go this route? (i.e. 4 years in the insanitorium would be less desirable than probation) Is it even remotely possible I could beat this and go on with what's left of my life? Any advice would be helpful, caselaw would earn my undying affection for life.

P.S. Charges at this point
Either Felony or Misd Theft by Taking depending on the cost of the computer
Misd. Obstrution -- running from cops
Felony interference with gov property -- tearing desk out of wall. I was in jail for 3 months until I could bond out, had to pay $100 to get out of jail
Felony xanax possession -- they were my girlfriend's - prescribed
The final question, if they offer probation, should I take it?
