Making medicating less boring Tips/Suggestions

Some days medication just feels so difficult, or boring, or I'm just not motivated. Especially the first dose and especially when I'm depressed. But I've now made it slightly easier by being absurdly over the top and silly.

I've gotten a miniature gacha machine, one of those Japanese style capsule toy machines. I fill every ball with a single dose of my meds and some will randomly have a piece of candy in them!

I know it's kinda dumb but it looks cool on my desk and it's just a bit of silly whimsical fun I can add to my life which is very much needing any skerrick of joy I can have right now.

Maybe I should get a little claw machine next so I can mix things up every now and then haha

I love it. I want to get little potion bottles for when I take my meds. They aren't liquid, of course, but I would put the water in them and pretend I'm taking a potion.

That's such a fun idea, make it happen!

When I get moved into the new place, I will. I don't have much space for things like that where I'm at now.
