I wasn't medicated at all during my childhood and developed problems only after adolescence. I made huge efforts to work on my problems by myself but in the end I did need the extra push from my doctor to help me. Before that I was poking in the dark alone (no pun intended) and it felt like going in circles. I kept daily journals sporadically in Evernote over a few years and after going through them recently I realized how I kept facing the same seemingly unsolvable problems.
