    This post is intended to serve as a heads up to the mentally handicapped in the community: this gas…read morestation is not mental health friendly. I have schizophrenia, PTSD, and major depression. All of which I take my medicine for. I assumed the gas station would be aware of the mental health community here, with the section 8 apartments down the road that I live in. We'll I was shocked. I was having a minor episode where I found it hard to control the volume of my voice. Somebody got the wrong idea because they complained, I was told. This was a very minor episode I thought. I thought I looked passionate about life, in a colorful way. Maybe people at 63rd and Pflum aren't used to any liveliness of any sort, which blows my schizophrenic mind. Or maybe some low-life thought he had a shot at looking better than me for a split second, so he could act like he gets to judge me, and the attendant bought it. Whatever the case, I was addressed as if I was in the act of robbing the store at that moment. Keep in mind, I like to talk about my schizophrenia to people because I feel like it helps me. I told this attendant my name, diagnosis, and therapy animals name, in passing, over the course of regular visits during the prior 4 months or so. So I thought we were almost even friends. This attendant may have just had a low iq or something. This is actually a problem for me. My iq is higher than 99% of people. When someone has a significantly lower iq, there is almost always a communication breakdown. Maybe I was talking in complex thought when I was having a hiccup of an episode. Maybe the complainer didn't even understand what was going on. A PTSD trigger is a tricky thing to avoid. Coupled with having to say my thoughts that my voices are concerned with loud enough for other people to hear my thoughts with my voices, said. That's the only way I can figure out how to get them to calm down. I have to share very uncomfortable thoughts out loud all the time. It's not my favorite part of my mess of a life. But it's the only way I know how to survive in my condition. This particular attendant decided to try to intimidate me first. Then talk in short abrupt sentences like I ever threatened anyone. I never did. I simply had to explain a trigger to a friend. In my conversation I felt like the voices needed me to be loud enough otherwise they would have been on top of me. I was willing to apologize to anyone. I was coherent enough to stop raising my voice. It's just my typical day. I would have turned the voices off a long time ago if I could have. I really thought I was getting along with this guy until he was so brash and bullheaded with me. I don't think this man had a clue about mental health. I only walked my dog to that store multiple times a week for the past 4 months or so. I don't know why they hide the 24/7's but this was the cheapest pack of cigarettes I could find in the area. I'll be spending the extra 7 cents to go to the Vape Time liquor store behind Burger King, now. Not the Kansas community feel I've grown accustomed to growing up here. Overland Park's police department explained to me that my condition is OK. I don't have to live in an insane asylum. It was the O.P. police department that proved to me the times really are changing. Mental health awareness is spreading. It just hasn't seemed to me to have made it to this particular gas station. Now I'm wondering why I would ever consider shooting any respect this gas station's way ever again. They'll just try to exploit my good nature next chance they get all over again. Why did I waste all of my time believing in community at this gas station? I wouldn't recommend this.

    I liked the friendly, helpful service and the low gas price compared to nearby competitors. The…read moresales area was clean and spacious, with a very good selection of hot drinks, cold drinks, slushees, and a pastry case with Lamar's doughnuts. The selection of hot on-the-go foods was limited, but there were cooled sandwiches and frozen items with a microwave. I also noticed a large ice cream freezer. Air was also available for a charge. Very nice!
