 for pressing the pain a button. And today I have for you a video that can be relatable to people with mental illness. Now, not everybody does, but the majority of people who are mentally ill usually take medications. And let's face it, taking medications is not always fun. We don't always wanna do it, but in the end we know that it's good for the brain. And we need to take our brain meds, just like you would take meds for any other organ in your body. So today I have three suggestions on how to make taking medication just a little more interesting. So first tip I have for you is how I'm gonna do with water. So usually when you take your meds, you like chase the nail with water or something like that. And usually you have like a water bottle or something, but if you wanna spice up your life a little bit, maybe it doesn't need a cup to be your water cup. For me that would be this. It is a pink, sparkly little shot glass that came from Las Vegas. Story behind this, my best friend's mom got this for me. So to me, even though I don't drink, the fact that I use this to take my meds kind of makes me feel pretty cool. So I'm just like, oh yeah, I'm totally just taking shots for my meds. You can get shot glasses in all sorts of ways. I know that they sell little red solo cup ones like in every store. But if you're not into the idea of shot glasses, you can always just find like normal cups, just any way to make them fun. You can even get children's cups, they're a bit bigger than this. I actually have another cup that says I'm totally awesome and it has a turtle. So it's just a little something that kind of gives lift up your mood and make medicine a little more fun. So the second tip I have for you is a fun way to store your meds. So usually, usually your medication comes like an orange bottle or it comes in like the white stock bottles or in boxes, whatever. And if you take them every single day, you know, it could be very old just opening the bottles over and over. So an idea to have is a pill minder. Or it's also, I've also heard it called it's like a pill reminder, pill storage. I've even heard it called Convlers. And this is what one looks like. This is what mine looks like. Mine is clear and red and it has a letter for each day of the week. You can actually find these in a week or a week of morning, noon and night or just morning and night or whatever you're needing. I take meds morning, noon and night and I just put them all in here. For afternoon meds, I actually have this key chain that is on my keys. It is shaped like a pill capsule. You just open it up, put your pills inside, close it off and whenever you need it, it's right there. This one came from an event, but it says Walgreens. So I guess you can find this at Walgreens or you can just find any little key chain. Like you have to take your meds throughout the day. Just like a little key chain where you can put it on your keys or on a different key ring. Just some things to remind you to do it throughout the day. And I mean, I don't know. I find it kind of amusing having a giant pill capsule next to a dinosaur key chain but that's just me. And the last thing that I suggest is if you have reminders on your phone. So most of us have a cell phone. Personally, I have three alarms for this phone. One of them is silent. And I have one at 7.30 in the morning, one at 12 p.m. and one at 9.30 at night. And like I just remind you to take my meds. And if you have something like that, you may have like, you can change up the note or you can change up the alarm sound. Like I know for me personally, the titles of my medicine alarms are med time, afternoon med, med time. And just putting that is boring. So you could spice yours up a little bit and like put something like start the day right or brain power or let's get through the happy day or happy pills or something. It may seem really weird to other people but for you, I mean, it could be funny for you. And that's all that matters. It's just to make like a little more interesting. And the second thing is if your alarms have sounds. So my 12 o'clock does not have any sound and that's done on purpose. So when I'm in class, I don't hear it. I can see it later, let's see. What do I have? Both of mine have a different sound. Mine's a reminder for the 12 p.m. But all right, let's see. So this is what I have for my 730. This is what I have for 930. You don't wanna have those kind of sounds. Like if you have a smartphone, you could actually pick songs. I know on the iPhone you could do that. Like let's say I wanted to switch on to one of my favorite songs. So let's go with, you can make it really funny things. Like for those of you who don't have smartphones, there's a website called PhoneZoo that you can go on where you can free download the ringtones. I don't know if PhoneZoo still exists but I did something to look into. So yeah, those are my three tips for how to make taking medicine just a little more fun because it's not always that fun.
