Haven’t been able to refill my meds for a week. I haven’t been able to focus and I’m scheduled to take on a really large workload soon 🙃. Does anyone have advice?

Take a nap - no seriously. It helps with processing and overwhelm when you aren’t sleep deprived

I’m so sorry - I know how frustrating that is. Having gone through this several times, I’ve realized the best thing for me is to just get the meds. A week or two off really derails me.

It takes time to call around to pharmacies - and you might not be able to make the time. Do you have family or friends that can help call 5 each to help? If not, I once hired a task rabbit to call for me during the workday - it sounds extreme but it was worth the costs to me.

After several bad experiences like this, I’ve switched to a mail delivery service with a 3 month autofill prescription. I do need to be home to sign for the package, but twice I’ve gotten a Ring notification and been able to ask the delivery person to sign for me which they very graciously did. This might be easier if you’re in an apt with a delivery room.

Other immediate tips: get sleep, try to fit in even 15 mins of weight lifting in the morning (even if hotel room pushups and squats), and prioritize hydration and protein (even if just protein shakes throughout the day).

If you’re comfortable, you could share your situation with your team and offer suggestions on how they could help you (e.g., make sure you’re hydrating and eating, sit with you during work periods to help maintain focus on task).

No good for this time but I think getting a little bit of stockpile to be out front of it is best. I don’t take them 100% of the time but get them each time I can so that if it takes a week or so to get them I can consume the ones I have.

Thanks.
