was just having a fit where she was crying and trying to bite herself. I had to help my dad hold her arms and head so she couldn’t. It was intense. She is very strong.

She seems ok now. Not sure what set her off. It lasted a good 10 mins I’d say…it was a long 10 mins lol

I don’t know. She takes birth control pills I think. But I don’t really know why.
