One of my caregivers/guardians as a kid was a heroin addict and she wasn’t unhinged in the way Shann is which is what makes me think it’s not just drugs that make Shann how she is, but there were a few similarities
- constant begs for money with changing descriptions around what she’d use it for and why she’d need it (often would mention hospital trips & surgery. Unclear why she’d need it for that tbh)
- changing accounts of what she’d been up to
- Resenting people for not helping her ie not giving her money
- looking really unwell; crap skin, crap hair, bags under her eyes
- weight loss
- unexplained scabbing and bruising
- pinpoint pupils & glassy, dazed eyes
