First she has to avoid cracks in floors, but this rapidly devolves into restrictions on every aspect of her life-controlling her behavior, relationships, eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene, and completely derailing her ability to do well in school. Can a girl fall off a cliff in s-l-o-w motion?
