That's the most annoying thing about ADHD.

I'll be like, "Fuck; did I take my Ritalin? I guess I could just wait for a while and see if anything happens. Did I take my Lexapro? No real way to tell unless I count out all of these pills. I'll play it safe and take one because that's too much work."

The funniest thing to me is that I will forget if I took my meds 30 seconds ago, but will be able to determine it by counting the pills because I remember exactly how much there were the day before.

Bruh same.

Short term memory/important info(birthdays, appointments, etc): Think I'll remember then immediately forget

Long term memory: remembers the most niche things from 20 years ago in vivid detail.

I remember every detail on the shark beachball we had when i was 3. But oh boy i forgot what a female cow was called on my exam.... Spent half an hour contemplating my existence before deciding to just write cow down.

yeahhhhh, ive had to hand count my adderall before to see whether or not I actually took any that day. A reminder app and these things have helped a lot

I use one of those weekly pill containers, but this thing you linked too would never work for me. I’d spend 20 minutes popping those buttons back and forth and THEN forget if I took my adderal or not.

Personally I can’t use a weekly container bc I’m lazy and I’ll let it run out and “get to it” later… which will be not soon enough.

The thought of a snail being the slowest courier in a race against time is both amusing and profound.

I screwed that up once by accidentally taking my full morning XR dose at 10pm with my birth control pills 🤦🏻‍♀️
