I used to do the reality checks all the time, but having been like this for nearly 2 1/2 years, I don't do them so often, although I still do them everyday. I think that I do have a slight feeling of not knowing who I'm talking to sometimes, especially if I havn't seen them for a few days. That said, I bumped into somebody I havn't seen since before I got ill tonight, and apart from not recognising her due to her change in hairstyle, I knew who she was and what she'd been doing when I last saw her. She is rather pretty though, maybe I find it easier to remember because of that
