"Here are seven things 'everybody knows' about my illness that just aren't true.

Greywolf:

Would it be bad form to stare at them and say “I just can’t stop taking the pills. Every morning, at exactly the same time. I have to take them, I have to…” ?

Every day, something new confirms my beliefs that people are, in fact, stupid.

When I first started talking Luvox for my OCD the doctor mentioned that there was some hope that if it was treated for a year or so it really might just go away on its own.

This hasn’t proven true for me (although I am lucky in that only a small dose of Luvox is necessary to keep my OCD under control so its not like I was getting pumped full of the stuff) and it seems the last time I checked with my doctor prevailing opinion had gone against that theory.

Anyway just a sorta interesting tidbit.
