    I often forget mine.

    That, or I cannot, for the life of me, remember whether or not I actually took my medication. Or locked the door of my apartment, or my car.

    Both patterns are a fairly classical presentation of ADHD.

      I bought these things on amazon and they’ve been super helpful, just push the button in for the day as you take it. doesn’t help me remember to take my meds but at least I can easily tell if I have taken my meds

      Get a dosette, then just look at it. Is today’s compartment open? You took your meds. Pills are still in there? Time to take them.

      I have a phone app (MediSafe IIRC) that has both reminders and tracking.

      Though it’s not 100% perfect. It’s still easy sometimes to get distracted for too long.

        Ah, but what happens when I take the medication, and then forget where my phone is, or to use the app, or get distracted by something on lem-

        Oh no
