I've been chasing my meds for over 2 weeks and have had a similar tale of woes. Completely out of stock here but also didn't find out until I had already faffed around for a few days too. I walked into my Dr's finally and said to receptionist please help as this is pointless. She assured me pharmacy team would get hold of me. They haven't. I've just given up at this point.

Sometimes feels like these days are the norm to be honest and the days where I can do stuff is the exception to the rule. I've managed to up my work productivity massively with meds and habits but man life is still such a challenge. I find I feel suddenly hopeless whenever I have ''free'' time.

Yes to writing everything down and yes to google keep. I am now trialling using ticktick and obsidian but google keep stays as its simplicity makes it the perfect tool for quickly capturing thoughts before they fall out of your head forever.

I also majorly thank myself for the few things I indexed when I started a bullet journal. Everything I need my driving test ref it is so satisfying to go to the contents page and find the page number where the ref number is written down.

I'd agree with basically all of the things you said.

I'd add just general acceptance or at least trying to remind myself to accept that I need what I need, my brain works the way it does and progress is messy and not linear.

Part of that is also accepting that what works might not work forever. ADHD makes me constantly have to adapt my tools and change what I use to help keep myself organised. It is in my nature to flit from one thing to another and difficult to be consistent but rather than fighting it I think it is OK to go with it. For example, one month the bullet journal is my thing. I will rave about it, research it, proclaim it is saving my life and then all of a sudden it drops off and it is something else that is now the new thing. That's okay.

Also..trying to train myself out of all or nothing thinking / complete on or off mode. For example, in the past I'd either madly tidy the entire house or gradually let it become worse and worse until it's horrendous to live in. Actually letting myself mentally off the hook helps me be better at this. For example, I didn't wash the dishes today? That's okay, no biggie. I know I can do it... I'll just do it tomorrow. Previously I'd allow one perceived failure to prompt me to spiral into never doing that thing again.
