 >>>I have OCD, and choose not to treat it at this time, as I'm in 
post-treatment stable phase and the drugs that have been recommended to me 
(which I've never taken - they weren't popular back when I was first 
diagnosed) have serious side-effects.<<<

That's certainly not what I was describing. That's a rational choice 
comparing the benefits of treatment with the risk of side-effects. It's not 
a desire to remain ill.

 >>>Fair call.  If you don't want to be cured - you aren't.  People can't 
cure you against your will.<<<

That seems reasonable, certainly witin the scope of an RPG like UA.

Basically, in UA your friends can't force you into therapy to remove 
hardeneed or failed notches if you want to keep them.

Some therapists may make you change your mind about what you want, 
naturally.


Cheers,
