I need help... Please.

I'm on multiple medications for depression, anxiety, and seizures. All of them affect my memory negatively but my parents are getting pissed because I can't remember simple things (bringing money in to the school, unloading the dishwasher, facts for any of my classes). What should I do?

Have them talk to your physician!! Those meds are notorious for what you describe. But you can also help yourself to function better by writing lists down in a book daily and checking off things as you do them. Good luck.

Your doctor should explain the symptoms to your parents. Do they trust your doctor?

@MayaFromCalifornia I have. They trust her but I do the talking to her, not them.

Did you tell them your medication is causing memory-loss? What did they say?

@fluteacorn Wooow, how rude. If they're going to ignore your problems, you should ignore them in turn. They're wrong to get angry at all.

@goagainsttheflow Also, try telling your doctor about these side-effects. Maybe he or she can help you with your memory problems?

@goagainsttheflow My memory is fried because of my medicines. My parents hate me. I've had panic attacks and cut because of them and then they bitch at me.

make a list.
use the list.

@nonsensiclesnail I always end up forgetting where I put the list. I still have to find like 3 of the ones I made.

@fluteacorn that's part of your problem. You make the list on something you always keep on you a tiny notebook. or your phone.
And everyday gets a new list.

@FearfulHarmonyReborn I tell them that and they don't believe me.

@fluteacorn Well personally I'm a pervert but I don't associate with people with names like yours
