*buys one of those weekly pillbox thingies* *adds extra layer of "did I take that pill or just forget to refill the box" to anxiety*

Setting myself reminders on my phone then seeing the reminder and taking the pill then not hitting "done" on the reminder and seeing it again later and not remembering if I took it and forgot to get rid of the reminder or thought about taking it but didn't actually... the problem is the action of taking a pill is roughly the same every time so I can easily envision myself doing it whether I actually did or not, so real memories are little help
