I have alarms set, but I always have a reason as to why I'm taking them later, and then I look at the clock and it's 3am and I missed the night dosages...

I feel like I need to be held accountable. But to whom and isn't that just stupid, needing someone to micromanage me?
I'm 36 for Pete's sake!

I feel like like I'm failing at something so pivotal and so simple.

Thinking I should tell Parker at my appointment next week.
I haven't been brutally honest about how bad it's gotten.
Downloaded an App called My Therapy.
Not only does it remind me to take my meds, records my appointments and keeps inventory of my meds... It also requires that I confirm whether I have taken or skipped the dosage.

It's a cool app, you can even share it with a loved one or your Dr to keep them in the loop...

It can also track things like weight, blood pressure and who knows what else.

I have hope this will help me stay compliant.
