I'm a freshman in college and I've been determined to keep up with my school work, go to all my classes, take my medication, etc.

Yesterday, I was going out to breakfast with someone and I wanted to be polite and actually eat breakfast (my ADHD medication suppresses my appetite). So I decided to take my meds after breakfast instead of before, as usual. I had a nice breakfast. And forgot to take my meds. Forgetting meds is such an unfortunate cycle because if you don't take them once, you forget to take them at all. And if you don't take them, how are you supposed to remember for the next time? Anyways...

I have a 3:10 English class every MWF. I set myself a reminder on my phone that day so that I left for the class on time. It went off, and I left for the class. I considered stopping for an iced tea but decided to just go to class early. I got to the classroom and sat down in my usual spot. I had this funny feeling that something was wrong. I saw my professor leaving the lecture hall and I was like, "Oh, I guess we must have a sub". Because he teaches the class before in the same lecture hall, it wasn't unusual that I saw him. I got out my notes and was looking through them when I realized that there was a chemistry powerpoint being projected. I turned to the girl next to me and said, "what class is this?" she said chemistry. I said, "do you usually have class here?" and she looked at me funny and said yes. I looked at my clock and realized that it was 4:00. I had set my alarm as if I was going to a 4:10 class. I do have a quiz at 4:10 on Fridays. I rushed out the door and barely made it to the quiz on time.

But how embarrassing. I had the time wrong and I had it in my mind that everyone else was in the wrong room at the wrong time. Not me. How embarrassing.

Does anyone else have any embarrassing ADHD stories? I'm so embarrassed.
