u/13inchpoop

40 years old. Was only diagnosed a few years back. Was finally medicated on vyvanse which has been a gamechanger but I still have issues mainly with losing or forgetting important things. I set something down like my keys or eyeglasses and then poof they cease to exist. The biggest issue for me lately is that I work on a military base and I have an ID card I need to get onto base and access the building. If I forget my card at work its a whole ordeal as someone has to physically grab my card from my computer. Go to their car and drive to one of the parking lots I can access off base. I also work third shift which makes things more challenging when this happens and I've done this maybe 4 times this year. Right now I'm sitting in a parking lot waiting for a coworker to drop off my card. At the end of each shift I have a routine to remember my card but that goes out the window if I have something come up like a call or random task at the last second before I clock out and its like my memory gets wiped and stuff ceases to exist for me and medicine doesn't seem to help with this. Thankfully I thinki might have cracked this nut. I'm going to see if I can attach a clip to my card to attack my phone locker key. I work in a secure area where I can't have my phone. So we have individual phone lockers. I can't drive with out listening to my Spotify Playlist so I have to have my phone.
