1yHow do you remember everything
I keep forgetting my meds until I'm rudely reminded by my pain increasing that i havent. Issue is i have tried alarms, ive tried daily to do lists, having a meds box, organisers ect but nothing works, i have the same issue with coping strategies and doing a pain diary, unless they're taped to my body imma lose them and forget they exist, I barely even remember to eat and drink so I feel like im fighting a losing battle, im still stuck on the referral list for assessment/diagnosis but I've ran tests with therapists that agree Its highly likely I have adhd and autism they just don't have the power to diagnose me. So I don't even have the meds that could help with focus and memory, just a bunch for my other physical disabilities which I really should take multiple times a day To be clear im after unhinged methods you've personally used for your adhd, all basic answers i have tried, multiple times in multiple different ways, im after something like you had them from the ceiling to hit you in the head when you wake up level unhinged (edited)

Hmm 🤔🧐 That is an interesting question: Well you have mentioned the basics, alarms etc. You see cognition and memory are difficult to crack but what helps me is association to circumstances or a person. That's how I remember it is embedded with a place or person. More than often I can remember because I am determined to remember, as in if I forget important work I will have to face the consequences, so I tend not to forget (the consequences are always brutal for me at least in my mind) Prioritization is also a way that can guide you.. But I would suggest that you start a proactive approach that means decide to do it without exceptions or allowing yourself to make excuses.
I don't🙃
