Im in school right now and I just realized I forgot to take my medication this morning, im having extreme thoughts of feeling worthless and that I should just disappear and dont know what to do. I would ask my mom to bring it to me but I dont know of she will be mad at me. You see my mom works nights and she doesnt sleep during the day so Im not sure what im gonna do. should i let my self suffer and freak out and panic all day and worry over things that I shouldnt be worried about or should I just ask her to bring me my medicine.

I would ask, with apology for the unexpected intrusion on her day and assurance that "No." is an acceptable answer. Then I would look for ways to remind myself to take my meds on schedule. I have a ton of reminder tricks, if you need them. My memory isn't so reliable, either.

Gentle empathy, Ciar. It is all too easy to forget. Anxiety sucks.

It is very inportent to remember to take out meds. Like above I would ask. We all make mistakes. If your mom can't bring your meds to you try not to think about it to much. Get you mind off it. Focus more on your school work. Education is so important. Much support. Big Hugs.

It happens...you are human, "Really Sorry Mom" and ask.!! ...Not sure if you are in US, my son took meds too. At school, with form, the school nurse can hold an "emergency' pills for you...they are locked up. The school does need the paper by law to give you medication...and it has to be in the 'med container'....hope that is a possibility for you!

    I have a possible new diagnosis to discuss with my therapist tomorrow.  It might be the answer to a question that I have had since I was 19.  It's called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).  It happens to a large percentage of people with ADHD, which I have.  Actually, I have been watching videos about ADD/ADHD lately.  I remember my Mom telling me that she watched a show on ADD and she...
