I was perfectly on time this morning when I woke up (which is rare) and everything was going smoothly until my routine was interrupted due to a phone call from my Mom and I forgot to take my meds before work.

I didn’t realize I did until about an hour into my shift and something felt off. I had doubts as I was getting ready for work but my doc said to never take extra. (Edit: and remembering what it was like going from 40mg to 60mg I definitely didn’t want to accidentally take 2)

I was a bit too scattered (best way to describe it) and even my coworker noticed I was a lot more talkative than usual.

And then it hit me, I didn’t remember taking my meds in the morning and saying the date.

By 4 hours into my shift my stomach felt off, and by the 9th hour I had a headache creeping in.

Unfortunately I got home within 12 hours (more like 10) of when I normally take my meds, so I’ve got to wait.

On the plus side I bought a pill organizer today so it’ll be easier to know if I missed my dose as I will be able to see if I did or not pretty easy.

    That’s a great idea. Have you noticed any patterns yet? No pressure to share, of course.

      So far only pretty obvious ones such as the correlation between depression and more time in bed/less working out/eating etc. But you never know what use you might have from logging things, for instance I went back to see if gluten affected my mood and energy levels, and even if I didn’t log gluten specifically I could sort of extract that info from my food logs and compare it to my logged perceived energy levels and mood (I found no correlation).
