I'm sorry you don't have a person to hold you accountable, but maybe you're avoiding a crutch that way. I would buy the tupperware pill holders and fill up your pills for the week every Sunday, and post reminders in your phone/PC/datebook.
Peace & Hugs,

Yeah I got that little pill box and everythign last time. That this isn't my friend. Haha... I forget my pills are in it and take them out of the bottle (until I forget entirely to take them... blah!) Not this time! I have to remember to take my meds. So far so good. Six days and no forgotten pills.
I just don't understand why we do this? Is it because of the stigma and our society telling us we should just be able to do it ourselves? That we just want to be okay? Or is it actually part of the illness itself? You know there's a name for it... if my brain will work for 10 more seconds.... Lack of insight. Anosognosia.... yeah, that's it...
It's like the ultimate form of denial, but a symptom no one really talks about as an actual symptom.
Or maybe it's all those things.
