Outsider without adhd here... Is this really a thing? If the medication makes you feel better how would you forget to take it?
It's so much easier to be distracted and completely lose track of time with ADHD. Your mind doesn't necessarily think about things that are "boring" like taking medicine. Or even eating. So you forget to do it. I literally have reminders on my phone to make sure I eat because I have gone days without eating until someone noticed me looking all fucked up.
That's a mood. If I didn't have a proper eating routine, I would routinely forget to eat (as I sometimes do anyway!)
