She was like that when she was high and very different when she was low. Never anything in between.
A real shame.

I do not discredit there are definitely psychological disorders, some right here at SS, however, I think society is to quick to medicate. |
I didn't for a second think you did.
If medication works and produces positive results, it is fine by me.
I don't think it is in any way inherently bad, although any kind of serious
medication should only be taken under prescription of an
impartial and informed
medical professional.
I detest the advertising and branding of medication and the attitude that it is
always more desirable to cure the patient than to understand and tolerate
those with neuro-eccentricities. There is a fine line between wanting to treat
what is a problem for someone and wanting to change someone who is outside
the norm for no other reason than normalcy's sake.
The line between wanting to treat what is a problem for someone and wanting
to treat someone because they buy your product or service is much less fine.
