Ugh. Once again, I forgot to take my med until 4pm, versus 9am when I was due. And I was wondering why I was so shakey today. I finally got a second bottle so I can carry it in my purse for when I forgot, but today it did me no good. I guess I'll set an alarm to remind me. I hate it because when I forget it I feel so down and sometimes it takes me a couple days to rebound.

Today was a bad day to forget. The temp has dipped, so it is too chilly to take the girls for a walk. I forgot I signed up to help with a meeting tonight that I had decided not to go to, so I'll have to call in some favors and have someone else help - the childcare canceled for the meeting, so I can't go. Plus we got fairly definate info today that we have to wait another year to get a house. We really wanted to move in a couple months, but now we have to save more down payment we think and that will mean staying in our apt. another year. Thank goodness we really like our apartment. I called DH to vent a little, and he was too slammed at work to talk. Said he'd call me later. Did I mention DD2 doesn't feel well and they both skipped their naps today? Can you say "feeling sorry for myself"?

Sorry for the long post. Someone please tell me I'll feel better tomorrow.

I can so relate to your post! I usually do not realize that I forgot to take my meds until the afternoon. By then I am on edge & super cranky. I usually take my Zoloft with food in the AM. But everyone has been sick for the last month & we have just been winging it.

I am starting to get back on track with flylady. That is helping with the chaos.

I also have a friend that I can talk to about anything (like venting). That helps a lot!

And yes; it will get better:)

**Do you wake up to an alarm clock? Perhaps you can keep your meds next to it.

You could also consider taking the meds at a different time of day that you think you might remember better, like before bed. I take lots of vitamins both in the morning and before bed. Since I am usually rushed, tired, and/or forgetful in the morning, I get the morning pills out and ready (including my Lexapro) when I'm getting my vits I take before bed. Then I just have to remember to grab them in the morning.

But I'm like you, I sometimes forget, then wonder why I'm so miserable by 3 p.m.!
