Due to some illegal behavior on the part of my ex, of which he is blaming me, I took a polygraph last week. I know now I should have said no as a suspect, but I had never really thought about a poly before, knew nothing, etc. Anyway, they never really told me what my results were...though there were several "signs" I suppose.
First off, I have severe obsessive compulsive disorder and take a rather high dose of zoloft. This controls the OCD, but tends to increase general anxiety.
Second, Right after the test, still hooked up to the machine though he said the test was over, he asked me how I thought I did and I said not well. You may laugh here, but that chair was so dirty! I am compulsively clean and all I could think about was that dirty chair...you know when a finish gets old and turns gunky and you can actually scrape it off? That was it...I actually scraped a bunch off between rounds of questions...Ugh!
Third...he kept telling me to stop moving my feet, and sounded quite irritated about it. Honestly, it is a nervous habit of mine, I do it nearly constantly and don't usually even notice unless someone points it out. Do I sound crazy yet
So afterwards, he leaves the room for a few minutes, maybe 3-4. Comes back in and says i was right, didn't do so well, and continues to very harshly interrogate me to get me to confess. I didn't, as I had been telling the truth. He really got demanding, actually said that things would be so much easier on me down the road if I told the truth now, otherwise he would have to get on the stand at trial and every judge knows who he is and would know why he was there and how would that look? Anyway, pathetically, I actually started to cry. I was just soooo tired of accusations when he is such a jerk, I have in emails that he was going to frame me as well as physical threats, etc. So I started crying and said I would not admit to something I hadn't done just to make him happy. So he left the room.
Came back about five minutes later and very gruffly said "Come with me." and took me back to the original interrogation room where the detective met me and gave me my email file back, I had given him permission to copy. Anyway, he said "All this means is I have more work to do." I am still crying and don't ask questions.
Anyway, now that I have calmed down, I realize they never actually said I failed, passed, inconclusive, anything. Everything to this point looked horrible. However, the post interview lasted less than ten minutes. It wasn't long or drawn out at all. Second, got a phone call from my ex (accuser) today, more threats as usual about how evil I am, rot in you know where, etc. Said he talked to the cops and knows I denied everything and will pay for my lies (saved the message and am filing for restraining order. I have had enough) and he said NOTHING about the poly. Knowing it is in my file, had I failed, I am sure they would have let him know as the alleged victim, and he most certainly would have mentioned a failed poly in the phone call to me, he wouldn't be able to resist rubbing that in.
So now my theory...remember the OCD? I have theories for everything...is that I actually passed, but due to the fidgity behavior and anti-anxiety medications that I told them I took daily, they were assuming it was not an accurate pass and were trying to get me to crack.
Anyway, again, must verify my theories everywhere
If anyone has any input on what occurred, I would really appreciate another analysis.
I know enough now, that if they ask me to retest, the answer will be absolutely not!!
Thanks everyone!
