Was quite isolated till 15 or so (no neighbors, extremely limited social life, nothing in house to get into etc), and was very good (not too hard, given the circumstances, lol.)

Then moved (to a town)... and the dynamic shifted for sure. So that would be 15 or early 16. After dropping out of college with my first massive depression, the variety expanded, but I was definitely not into any hard addicting things. I smoked after dropping out of college for awhile, but then quit for many years, though I have been again for awhile now.

I don't feel like all of what I did was self-medicating, but a bunch, yes. I didn't really realize what it was, wasn't dx'd. But looking back, yeah. For sure.

You may be right but the ones I have met all self medicated.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
