Neurodivergent on Sidechat | How do people remember to do bodily functions? I once forgot to pee for 36 hours and didn’t notice until I saw a bathroom and realized I hadn’t gone. Can’t remember to eat or drink usually, too. Is this some neurotypical secret or am I just crazy?

How do people remember to do bodily functions? I once forgot to pee for 36 hours and didn’t notice until I saw a bathroom and realized I hadn’t gone. Can’t remember to eat or drink usually, too. Is this some neurotypical secret or am I just crazy?

I just have to force myself to eat and drink, and get into a routine with it. Always have a bottle or cup of water within your field of vision and keep food where you can see it. It’s also helpful to keep a sort of schedule

No. This is so so real. I was just telling my therapist I forget to eat sometimes … I will go to sleep without peeing. I even forgot to drink water to the point where I was severely dehydrated and almost passed out . It’s the steps. LIKE EVERYTHING HAS SO MANY STEPS. It’s overwhelming.
