I just popped back to grab some stuff and saw Amanda. I know she's trying to quit cold turkey and all, but this is a little...excessive. I mean, she's showing some majorly worrisome symptoms and whatnot.

anything we or I can do? 'cause yeah, this looks really bad.

As Moira said, that's a big part of it. And, with psionics, there's the added hesitation where she has said, quite decisively, that she will not allow us to use our powers to lessen the cravings. Ethically, ignoring that would be much more invasive than any other solution we might come up with.

The other hell of it all is that going cold turkey on any other sort of addiction involves a necessary purging of the system. But this addiction is directly related to her mutant power. I'm not convinced that actually fully purging the magical energy out of Amanda's body might not be even more harmful to her than simply the withdrawl.

I certainly wouldn't agree to ignoring what she wants. Unless of course, what she wants is detrimental to her health. And she won't let us use any of those magical doohickeys in Moira's office to tide her over either. Stubborn brat. *wry grin* We'll just have to keep a close eye on her, make sure she isn't damaging herself. Insofar as much as we're able.

Can I just repeat my opinion that life was much less complicated before all this magic stuff?
