I don't self medicate. Instead, I repress. Only now, it is getting to the point that I cannot remember simple things such as names and my own age sometimes. My mind gets confused as to what to remember and what not to remember. One time, I had the exact conversation with the same person two different times. I usually use humor to avoid humiliation. I just told him "At least you know that I am not lieing." Oh the things we do as children to cope with stress. They work for the time being, but the methods just don't cut it in the adult world.
