I'm on medication for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and some time ago, when I had forgotten to take them for ~three days (an) idea(s) struck me.
Ernest Hemingway said, "Write drunk, revise sober," and this is probably due, at least in part, to the state of lowered inhibitions alcohol induces.
My obsession here is that I have two states of mind: the one unmedicated and wading in OCD and the medicated, more "normal" one. My worry is that I am "cheating" by using both when others only have the quasi-normal one. Thus, I feel like I'm "cheating" if I use the aforementioned idea(s) and more.
Is this sensible?
