I have multiple alarms on my phone now with names that tell me what I am supposed to remember. I realise I cannot work and so my alarms are about giving the kids medication - taking them to school - picking them up - the smart phones are great because you can set what days of the week the alarm will go and disable for school holidays or when the kids aren't medicated. If I tried work I would have to do same for scheduling work on a calaendar - because I would just forget. I cannot cook because I walk away and burn everything.

I also worry about managing any work that is not routine - I am thinking that if I learn to cope with my kids then maybe running a plant nursery because gardening is what I think I could manage or teaching swimming because being in water makes me interact better with people - maybe you have to accept your limitations for now and seek work where they become immaterial or the environment helps manage them

Yes I do set alarms and they really do help i was getting in a habit of burning food to but that's only when i try to do something else,I totally forget so I usually try to start and finish when i am cooking. I work at a place where communication is very poor and that things change all the time which does not help me at all so hopefully when I get through therapy I can get special accommodations like a schedule change, 40 hours a week really puts a toll on my body..Ill go straight home and fall asleep not waking up till 11 at night..just to do the same thing m-sat . I hate it! I wouldn't even eat ,clean up or take care of myself. Luckily Me and my bf stay together so he really keeps me on my toes
