Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

settling out of court

I need information regarding a case where I have an 8 hour span I don't recall what I did. All I know is that I woke up in the local ED, then sent off to the mental hospital for 6 day stay. I was found shoplifting at a local shop. They are willing to settle out of court for the cost of a watch they weren't able to find. Do I need to hire an attorney to do this or can I do without one?
