If someone uses your illness as a weapon against you I’d suspect it’s often because of deeper reasons.
Discombobulated, you bring to mind commercials I've seen with Howie Mandell talking about his struggles with OCD, encouraging people to get help. Back in the day a celebrity would never have admitted to having a mental health problem.
Thanks for this!
