    But you still have to both remember and be motivated to leave your phone in the shower, or put your meds on top of it.

      Yep, it’s all about those initial steps though. Once you start that routine it’s hard to break and becomes part of the ADHD ‘ocd needs to be in its right place’ habit.

      Depression meds will help with the same thing. It’s always that initial push though which is why taking meds right away when you wake up is so important. Once you get it as automatic as putting on your glasses — while also ynderstanding what the meds are doing — it helps.

        I don’t have routines though. I can get a routine going for maybe a few weeks, but if anything interrupts it, it’s over.

        I’m not on ADHD meds yet though, so hopefully they’ll help.
