They: It’s a highly addictive drug.
Me: SHIT, I forgot again.
The fact I saw this just after realising I forgot to set my timer for my ADHD med and have no clue when it’s next due 😅
I just made it my routine.
Can’t forget if it’s essential.For any future Ops that wants to know my schedule:
Wake up
Make breakfast and brew tea
Eat while watching a bit of media
Take meds
Get ready for work
Go work.You have a routine? Man, just be nice. I forget to blink if I’m too distracted.
My nerf instead is being dehydrated af.
Not unusual that my only fluid intake besides a gulp for downing the meds is about 400ml of tea for the whole day.
And in the evening I start notice that I have a headache and didnt drink anything for the whole day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i can absolutely drop out of a routine randomly
Couple days off sick or on holiday: “I’ve never met this routine before in my life.”
My workplace has moved offices which has changed my commute from a 10 minute bike ride to a 15 minute drive. My daily routine is in absolute shambles.
Having something to check off helps.
What happened 5d ago? Do that again
Accidentally dismissed the alarm.
The real struggle is staying focused during the few seconds between turning off my alarm and getting my meds. One little maneuver could cost 51 years
Don’t mark the alarm done till it’s in your mouth. Snooze the alarm 5 min if you must
This is my trick for everything that needs to get done. Never turn it off before it’s done
I’m just going to do this first…
Shut up shoulder devil
Hey, I remembered to get my kid his meds. That’s almost a win, wait… what was I doing?
Here’s my secret effective tip: have blood pressure issues that cause palpitations when you forget your meds for a couple hours. Who needs alarms when you can feel like shite for the rest of the day?!
You just need a reminder to check your reminders.
I genuinely have a reminder to check my reminders 😂
Genius!
It’s reminders all the way down
I use https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.corruptedark.diditakemymeds
You can even set it up to require photo evidence of you taking your meds.
Thank you this seems so useful!
Do you know if it changes with the time zone you’re in?
It does at least respect daylight savings. I guess it uses whatever your phone reports as the current local time.
I keep forgetting to take my meds this week.
they say to get one of those daily pill calendar things, but thats too much work to fill all the time.
There are Sundays where the thought of having to spend 5 minutes filling up my pills for the week kept me in bed for hours.
I feel this so deeply. Friend or neighbor needs my help for hours? No problem. Work a crazy long day? No problem. Vacuum for fifteen minutes? Practically impossible.
If I’m being good I do it Saturday night, after I take the last dose and empty it. But I’m rarely being good.
I have one but if it’s not physically in front of me I just don’t think of it.
Fuck… I think I forgot to send in a refill
Lmfao same
As a person recently diagnosed. I have a pill bottle with my daily dose. I refill it in the evening on my comedown to make sure I don’t forget it. I do sometimes forget in the morning when I go into the office though.
Thanks for the reminder, I had genuinely forgotten this morning. Why is it so hard?
I’ve got 2 daily alarms, 15 minutes apart and still manage to occasionally miss taking them.
Im in this picture and I didnt consent to it
