>Please provide evidence which suggests that she's a drug addict
Oh, I've got plenty. Of course, I've also got evidence that suggests your obvious infatuation to the accused leaves you as a thoroughly biased debator and will lead you to dismiss what I say outright. But I can always try.
>Please note that drug dealer ≠ drug addict.
Noted. Indeed you're right that a great many of the smarter dealers keep themselves entirely clean of drugs. But our every interaction with Julia shows that she's far from balanced or intelligent. And she's also bored, with nowhere to go and very few people to talk to: she'd be doing a lot of the stuff.
>Chuck shared drugs with Julia, so if they had taken anything addictive, it means Chuck should also be a drug addict.
Again a kernel of truth! It's entirely possible - likely even - that Chuck was once an addict himself. This isn't the first time it's been suggested either. He's been doing a lot of stuff with Julia. As you can see at the end of the post >>827637 he probably still entertains the thought, even if the above comment was spoken in a jest. However...
>Considering we have not observed any evidence that Chuck has a drug addiction, there is no logical basis on which to claim that Julia is a drug addict.
This one is completely wrong.
Like I said (and you implicitly agree), Chuck was likely an addict once. But he's been clean of the stuff for the entire quest - in fact, it looks like he parted ways with Julia a fair amount of time before the story even began (they talk about each other like it's been a while). He's had well enough time to wean himself off.
But Julia? She's been doing drugs that whole time. She's never tried to go clean, and in fact considers the very thought - or that Chuck himself would no longer be an addict - patently ridiculous. She still thinks he's like her, and only wants the drugs to get herself off. Hell, the only reason she wouldn't try something completely suspicious is because he won't.
Furthermore, there's the case of her ransacking the medicine of the village's only doctor. Her fist instinct on being dumped to a strange new enviroment was to go steal stuff to get her fix and hole up somewhere where no one could find her. Chuck's first instinct, by contrast, was to go get a job and to find a place to stay, to actually interact with people. I think it's a fairly good indicator to both their mental healths, and to how much other substances control their lives.
>As Chuck mentioned, Julia is experiencing a panic attack.
She's also wigging out, i.e. "become deliriously excited; go completely wild". In addition she's showing signs of irrationality, paranoia, even sociopathic tendencies. It's clear she cares about no one but herself and has absolutely no compunctions at killing people. Unlike Chuck, she's never even made the attempt to improve from any of this or seek amends.
He did some drugs with her for a while, but his life got better once he got away from her. Both Ellen and Rachel, meanwhile, are way worse off with their introduction to the bunny. She makes for a horrible acquaintance, introducing drugs to others at the drop of a hat. As mentioned earlier, she's bored, and seems to have no other means of recreation: that leads to a lot of drugs, and a lot of drugs is a sure recipe for addiction.
>Please note that panic attacks are a medical condition which is unrelated to addictive substances. Julia is also well-aware of her medical condition since she mentions that she needs Valium to calm down.
Certainly, neither panic attacks nor the plethora of other mental conditions she has hold any evidence of being born out of drug use. They may still have, though: if they have, then this case is closed and she's clearly an addict.
But if they haven't? Then it's more than likely that she turned to drugs to begin with in order to combat these physical and mental conditions of hers - whether prescribed or otherwise. But if that's the case, then when you mix up such a cocktail of stuff for one to take, ending up dependant to at least some of them is not an unlikely end result, leading her to be an addict anyway.
Maybe she's not. But even then, as you said, she NEEDS Valium to calm down. This goes entirely against your prior suggestion of trying to calm her down by other means: clearly it's impossible.
And it's pretty clear we can't go there for the stuff.
She's a lost cause.
