"Timothy Unraveled"
Timothy Heckler takes a hit of crystal meth at his Denver apartment. Since childhood, he has been medicated: first Ritalin, then Wellbutrin and, most recently, Depakote to control the bipolar swings between stay-in-bed-for-days depression and freaking-out mania that sends his thoughts spinning so fast that he can't capture them. He doesn't like how he feels on prescription drugs, though. Instead, he’s lured by the immediate calming and euphoric effects of alcohol and methamphetamine.
