@farmboy It's good that you have addressed your medications with your doctors. Forgetting something is something that everyone does to a degree and as we get older, it's quite common. If you have important appointments then use whatever works to record and remember them like a pocket calendar, or notes on the bathroom mirror. I do that. None of us are perfect, and it's best not to put that expectation on yourself. Do your best, but give yourself a break when you make a mistake. Did you accept someone else's opinion and beliefs that making mistakes is bad? I used to try to be perfect too, and it can be good to challenge yourself, but we can learn much more from our mistakes than from success. The important thing is to believe in yourself. I lived through a few months of panic attacks over my fear of surgery, and I figured out how to deprogram that fear. I had a choice to make because without the spine surgery that I needed, I would become disabled. It didn't make sense to me to let my fears make that choice, and I used everything I had within my personal experience to overcome the anxiety. I did go to a counselor to make sure I was on the right track, but I had already done the hard work myself, and figured out where in my past this unreasonable fear had come from. We are born without fears, and somewhere in our lives, fears are learned behaviors. Understanding that opens the door to figure out how to "unlearn" the behavior and find a new way to think about something. This is possible and you can do it if you really want to overcome it. Here is my story...
