Well, thank you, Squiggles. Alas, I've been cut off-for all kinds of gross offenses- like having the gall to like certain kinds of weather, I was in fact one of the people 1-2 minutes late to a coffee shop once..stuff like that she deemed significant offenses, and there was no talking about it-the talking about it was also offensive. While very painful and distressing, I don't take it personally, because basically all of her friends became guilty of similar "crimes". No, don't know what is happening now, as she moved away, even angry at our city, and by extension, at all those who live in it! I do keep best wishes in mind though, even though my calls and letters never were acknowledged, and thank you for your concern of how hard of an experience it has been for me, too.

How utterly incomprehensably bizarre to have someone do a 180 with their personality and temperment, and so suddenly.
For me, raised huge questions and confusions about things like, where is the person, which is the body, the tissue--and where in there is the PERSON? Those Buddhist ideas of self as illusion, or "no-self", kept going through my mind, but I never really understood properly those tough concepts to begin with.

After witnessing this- the claims some people make about how taking an antidepressent changes a person's personality, "how do I know who you are if you are on a med", etc, seem drivelish.

She moved away long ago, now. Alas, none of us have heard from her, no one's calls or contact efforts are returned. Occasionally there is a scrap of news, but it feels scant and there is some distance now. There is really nothing I can do.

Thanks again.
