Should I take meds? Pros and cons

[J.bass]

I know that might sound corny, but it’s a rough decision. I have had severe OCD for a long time, and recently my life has become hell, but there’s something I don’t want to lose.

Pros of taking meds:
1. Becoming NT and lowering inhibitions.
2. Stopping my weird habits, like touching my head whenever I walk through a door, etc.

Cons of taking meds:
1. I will lose that one thing I like about my OCD, which I call "detective mode"or hyper awareness. I know it’s just the brain being on overdrive, but I like it it’s my favorite thing that makes me superior to people.

Is the detective mode the thing that keeps you going or is it low inhib that you want with a deep urge?
