And then she starts to sort of disassociate and sort of tune out.
And in opposition of that, she reaches out to her doctors.
She has suffered for many years from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
And her psychotherapist suggests Klonopin, which is a drug that she had taken previously in order to help with disassociation.
And so this is sort of the beginning of the book of the salad days of girls and enjoying the experience of collaboration and making the show, but also this sort of like deep fear and deep anxiety and then sort of trying to combat the urge to disassociate.
The fame aspect is crazy because it's also, like, she was talking about how, like, Gawker and Desmond, all these places, a lot of those writers were people she knew in New York.
So, like, she's being written about by folks that she used to, like, see at parties and hang out with.

And I do think even if she doesn't see her privilege in that, and she's like, I'm not a nepo baby, like, there is an element of that, of just, like, you have access to, like, a certain echelon of people, whether they're just highly educated, that I do think is, like, fascinating.
She turns in the pilot.
24 hours later, they call her to tell her that her pilot's been picked up to Ceres.
And even, like, Judd Apatow, who was, like, wildly successful, was like, it'll never be this smooth again.
Which, like, what he dealt with with Freaks and Geeks and all that stuff, he was just like, it'll never be this good again.
And he's correct.
