So a week yesterday I started my first medication, Zoloft. I'm taking it for OCD. I've noticed that I haven't cried or felt like crying at all since I started, which is strange. I usually cry a lot, usually at least every few days, just because I'm a really emotional person. But I haven't cried since last Tuesday (day before I started) or felt super emotional about anything, AND I'm pms-ing! I can still feel emotion like happiness and sadness, etc., but I feel more evened out, I guess. I just haven't had the urge to cry or SH or punch anything at all (even when I feel I could have). But the thing is, I haven't been diagnosed with anything other than OCD, no emotional issues whatsoever. Plus Zoloft isn't supposed to help anything for a few weeks. So is this some kind of weird effect of the medication, or just a coincidence?

	"Tell me one last thing," said Harry. "Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?" Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was descending again, obscuring his figure. "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
