I just had a related experience. I've been out of a medication for a bunch of days, and today i finally was able to get myself to call the doctors office to ask for a refill. The receptionist in a tone told me "ok but you shouldn't wait till you're out of meds to ask for a refill, you should call in the refill when you're down to 5 pills left." Arg. As if needing to call in a refill hadn't been nagging on my mind daily for a month.

TBF she didn't know i have adhd, but still. It took a lot of restraint to just tell her "ok" instead of giving her a long explanation of the struggles i deal with.

Is there a long German word for the irony of having issues getting meds because of the thing the meds are treating?

Germany makes new words by squishing preexisting words together so if they don't already they can quite easily make one
