It's crazy.. I remember seeing a video of myself talking after being up for days and it was just like this.. 6 months sober today and I just couldn't be any more grateful

[convexsix]

The way she talks is like describing a fever dream. I can’t even imagine what must be going on in her mind.

[Thedizzleman]

I've never seen anybody as tweaked-out as she is. She seems like a sweet girl. It's heartbreaking to watch.. Praying for her. God bless you Mark, Happy New Year brother. Love and prayers from Detroit.

"He can't hear, so they call him Mos Def" There is some brilliance within this poor woman.

[amandamiller]

Both of her interviews are absolutely captivating. I am almost at a loss of words.

[chocolategirl]

We need an update of her because this was sad and heartbreaking to watch

[vengeancegauloise]

Having done my fair share of hard drugs... I think what scares me most is the familiarity of her speech patterns. I've been in states where it feels my thoughts are jumbled in the same way, and I can sort of relate to approximately how she must think. I hope she's doing better. Drugs are a brutal way of life

[OmJennica]

She has some elaborate stories and yet her energy is actually quite sweet and joyful. Wishing her the best and would love a follow up

[kingsagenda]

I want to see her sober so bad!! 🙏🏽

Listening to get intently for understanding is like turning a blind corner and ending up inside of a kaleidoscope.

[backupkingdom]

I feel like I need to go rehab just because I watched this. Poor woman.

[Donsdoom]

I would love a follow-up after she has seen a psychiatrist and has been on the prescribed meds for a month. I think it would be REALLY interesting to hear a retrospective from her looking back on her life as a newly sane/sober person.

[ShayneScherer]

I've watched a lot of your interviews and she has to be talking the most nonsense out of anyone. It's heartbreaking what the streets of skid row do to these people.

In a way, her story touches me like Amanda's did. I hope she can get some help and some freedom from the insanity of homelessness and addiction. I was homeless at several points throughout my addiction, but the worst, scariest, , and hardest time was a period of 6 months in Philly, after a drug run there got my car impounded and I wound up stranded, and only knew my dealer, barely. I was incredibly lucky and blessed, because I had family and friends that loved me enough to come find me and drag me out. I came home to Indiana with them, got arrested within 2 days and that jail time started me on my journey to recovery and mental health treatment. I didn't get it right that time, but it began my path by teaching me where to go for help when I finally was ready. That time and countless other situations could have ended so very differently so easily. I'm so grateful for yet another chance at life and to be able to help other women and addicts in need....

I have a friend who acts just like this when he gets high on meth. Something snaps in his brain and he turns into this babbling idiot who can't stop talking about extremely gross sex stuff. It is so icky, yet somehow when it is coming out of a girl's mouth it is that much more disturbing. I really hope she gets help one day. Poor thing :(

[leahahardisty]

Really amazing how she could act soo happy even though her life is probably anything but happy.. I’ve been waiting to see an update on Juliana💜

[Uchoobdood]

She genuinely scared me the first time, this time she had me crying laughing. Amazing

[daniellemacfarland]

What I am getting is that she was traumatized sexually by her father as a child. She then mentions she went to fat camp so that was a repressed memory because she mentions she was fat in high school and then at some point got bariatric surgery. She probably ate to cope with the sexual abuse. Either way I can read between the lines and the mention of her dad and sexual behavior is probably what planted the seed. My heart breaks for her truly.

[sandicassidy]

Her and rebecca are my favorites. I hope they are both ok. We need an update on her Mark

[ebe]

And people believe there’s not demon possession!!! She’s an example of that, let’s pray for her deliverance!

[asiajae]

I really try to listen because it’s no coincidence that they all talk about getting cloned and radios in their heads. Like there has to be a reason for similar thoughts and stories from ppl that don’t even know each other. The only similarity is them being on really harsh drugs.
