We can't help you nor can you apparently help yourself. You need a lawyer. If you are truly indigent, a public defender will be available to you. Ask at the first court appearance.

I'm confused. What do you mean your court date is the same date you apparently committed the crime? This makes no sense at all. What day where you detained by security?

Your civil restitution has no bearing on your CRIMINAL charges. The store is allowed to get their compensation whether or not the state chooses to punish you for the injury to society of you being a criminal.

If there is a diversion open to you, that is your best option. Don't screw it up.

Frankly, your inability to avoid committing crimes under periods of stress doesn't bode well with you for getting a job either. I'd avoid trying an insanity plea.
