Someone mentioned last week that they knew the reason why Stassi has her epic meltdowns: Adderall. It was totally correct. I was addicted to it for 16 years (clean for three years now), and I feel deeply uncomfortable when watching her lose it. It’s the way I used to act when I was upset and high (which eventually became pretty much all the time) I recognize that behavior in my bones. She is mixing it with Xanax and Alcohol, which makes things worse.
Her going to that Oracle was actually pretty sad. She is looking for someone to wave a wand over her head and say, “Poof! You are fixed.” She doesn’t make the connection between the booze/drugs and her mental state and her behavior nor does she think of herself as an addict. I hope in the near future she has a lightbulb moment and realizes she needs help. Don’t get me wrong: a lot of the time she is a Grade A asshole and thinks it’s cute. She is proud of being a terrible person. She has made egregious comments regarding race and the #MeToo movement. I could go on. But a part of me wants her to do well and be well, and become a better person.
Also: how does one become an Oracle? Is there a professional organization of Oracles? So many questions
