She became promiscuous, abused marijuana and hallucinogens and ran away at 15 with a boy. She craved excitement and would get drunk and dance wildly, and left with strange men. When she was 17, she made her first suicide attempt by cutting her wrist severely. She was obsessed with calories and with the need to have her food cut into particular shapes and arranged on her plate in a particular manner. If her parents didn’t do this she would have tantrums.
