Its very unlikely you will go to jail with a clean criminal record. Relax -- if like here in the states --you will be fined -- a year or so of probation, possible community service. Most European countries are a bit more liberal than the state so fear not. -- Savage

This quote I found a long time ago might be a good mantra for you though these times -- Savage

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

With a good lawyer and certification of your illness you will be fine. Plead not guilty and your lawyer will present the defense.

girl, I have the same situation... and I don't know what will happen but I do know that you're not going to go to jail as long as you didn't steal over $500 worth of items.. and it helps to have good grades =)
