I saw flickers of a real person, but she quickly disappeared within herself once she gathered composure. I decided not to be like her. Even if it meant embracing my demons, I wanted to be real. After a couple doses, I would toss the meds in the garbage.","author":"Maggie Georgiana Young","tags":["family","just-another-number","just-another-number","maggie-young","maggie-young","medication","southern-families"],"id":86614,"author_id":"Maggie+Georgiana+Young"},{"text":"I would take them a few times, feel my emotions and sense of reality fuzz, and look at my mother who had been doped up on them since we moved to Chattanooga.
