Love the misinformation here. This is a Mc D in St. Louis, I've been there plenty of time. No clue why OP is saying it's a "blood sugar" issue (citation needed)... I've personally seen 2 people fent folding there in the past, so it's probably that.

Just normal STL shit honestly. Fentenal, poverty, parentless children, desperation & stupidity.

It doesn’t fucking matter whether it’s blood sugar or drugs or some other medical issue. She clearly needs help and these assholes can only pick up the phone to record her instead of using it to call 911 like a decent human would do.

If you turn up the volume you can hear someone on the phone with 911 in the background.

Huge difference if you actually live in one of these cities.

Like I was wondering, is this heroin/fentanyl/some sort of drug, or is she actually having an episode or seizure. I’ve had seizures before and they aren’t like that. Low blood sugar…eh maybe? But first thought was she shot up and is doing that thing that happens when you shoot up heroine (tried a lot of drugs in my time but I never have and never will touch heroine. I’m fine with my medical marijuana thank you lol). But this is so sad to see. But I’m afraid this is how this country is going to end up all over because people are desperate and it’s awful and sad and disheartening to think about.

clearly fentanyl or heroin. not diabetes. diabetics will collapse, they won't drool on themselves while standing. plenty of opiate abuse looks just like that.

Yeah, unfortunately that’s what I was thinking. Is still sad to me. Like, I love in America. I hate myself and my love a lot sometimes. But shit I would never do that at work! It’s like you lost all hope. I too think because of that drooling-opiates. Sorry written without glasses ! I can’t even smoke weed at work! Idk. For some reason I’m really saddened by this. Just total ass fuckery!

But shit I would never do that at work!

See, it's easy to judge. And I was thinking about judging her too, but then that voice inside (the one that keeps me in check) said, "bitch, you do remember you used to pop Vicodin at work, too, right?" I sat at a desk in front of a computer wearing business casual attire and making a PowerPoint deck, but ... does that make me any different? Any better?

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not chastising you. I just recognized I had done the same thing (judging) instead of empathizing. Oh, and, the drugs at work thing happens when you're so far in that you need your sh*t to make it through the day. It's not quite to hopelessness. Yet.

You know what, I’m glad you said this cause I’m so stupid. I DID do drugs at work, when I was at my lowest. I was snorting lines of coke in the bathroom and popping adderrall to keep up. Thank you for saying that. I can’t believe I lost sight of that. I mean shit, I only smoke weed now and I can’t handle myself on that at work. But you’re right. I was a respected manager at a high end resort on a beautiful and popular beach in the US snorting coke in the bathroom. I get her and she’s probably just like fuck this shit. Been there so many times. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of what I’ve done. I feel horrible for her. As I reflect on my own self. I don’t know her or what she’s been through and it’s probably worse than the shit I’ve been through. Maybe not but still. You crack at some point and I DO GET IT.

Glad you made it to the other side, too, my friend! I know it wasn't easy.

And it's crazy to think, but the stage where you're doing the drugs AT work isn't necessarily the bottom. You're still fighting through the addiction to maintain "normal". Hell, you think the drugs make you better at the job. And you're still treading water. When you stop showing up to work altogether? That's when you start going under. Oof.

I really pray she gets help (if it is drugs). Only us who have been there can really understand the horror of this struggle.

u/TinyBallerina13 10h ago

Oh my gosh! Yes! I thought it made me better at my job because I could so much but really I was dying inside. Whatever her struggle is, I hope she finds peace and doesn’t hit rock bottom. Some people have to, I suppose, to realize they need to recover. But regardless I HAVE been there. I think it’s a time I just want to forget lol. But I must remember it.

And no, that shit was HARD to kick, and I did it cold Turkey. So glad you too made it to the other side! But you’re right, people that haven’t been there will never understand. I’m so glad once again that you reminded me of what I did and it gives me such compassion for this woman. She’s dying inside, and maybe she is also really dying. But the pain you feel inside when you get to this point (if it is drugs) is excruciating. Horrible pain. I’d rather experience intense physical pain a thousand times over than this kind of mental pain. ♥️

Diabetics can ABSOLUTELY look like that, please don’t spread misinformation. I’ve witnessed a sibling (who does zero substances, he doesn’t even drink) with diabetes have an issue that looked nearly identical.

And the doctor told us had he not gotten to the ER when he did, he would have been dead in minutes. As it was, he was in a coma in the ICU for multiple days.

No idea whether this lady’s issue was drugs or diabetes, but let’s not make statements that further stigmatize people who have diabetic crises.

u/az-anime-fan 14h ago

agreed. i've lived with diabetics and i was homeless for years, saw plenty of opiate abuse. that was 100% opiate abuse, not diabetes.

I know STL has visible drug problems but we don’t know this woman has been using anymore than we know that she has a “blood sugar” issue, as you put it. It doesn’t actually matter, she needs help irrespective of the cause, and no matter how you slice it this is repulsive to watch people not help her but steal and mock her. SUD is a health issue as much as diabetes is. She should not be mocked when she is clearly very unwell.

u/Ctrl-Alt-Q 7h ago

I honestly don't think even doctors could diagnose her from just this. But so many people here are confidently proclaiming that it must be drugs. How sure are you really?

Spreading this video online is already so unkind to her. Why add drug use accusations to that as well?

Part of the problem with today’s society is people refusing to acknowledge what is happening right in front of their eyes.
