Woke up this morning and realized, based on how my head and body feel, that I forgot to take my meds yesterday. Maybe the day before, too. Meds taken. This f*cking pandemic. I'm reverting to all my very worst tendencies.
♥ and support. This is rough on everyone, and the way it brings out our worst tendencies / dysfunctional attempts at coping / etc is a big part of why it's so rough.
Dear one: this helps me, and it may not help you, but I write down on my (paper) journal/calendar/datebook every medication and the time I took it, even when I am only taking 1 or 2 pills a day. Otherwise I am frantic trying to remember if I forgot anything. My planner has a monthly calendar at the front and then pages week by week and I put the meds on the monthly calendar so they are not staring mournfully at me every day. I put appointments in my phone, absolutely, but I need the paper thingie.
This is actually a great use for that yearly calendar at the front of my Moleskine appointment book--thank you! Yeah, I still do everything on paper. I need a proper week's view of my appointments and so on, now that I have appointments every now and then again. I shall give this a try.
