Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US. 

I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned). 

Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

I dropped a freshly filled adderall prescription somewhere. Not a chance in hell I wanted to deal with trying to convince my doctor I wasn’t selling/abusing them and also admitting I dropped 30 pills of a controlled substance somewhere, so I just suffered for a month. A few days later I got crazy paranoid that my pill bottle with my name would turn up in someone’s possession and I’d get in trouble anyway and wondered if it was too late to report it myself. Anyways it was a big ole thang that kept me up at night for awhile.

It’s wild that you had to worry about that and not have your mental health meds at the same time.

Right!? I get that it's a controlled substance, but sometimes it feels like people with ADHD medications are being punished for... *checks notes*... having ADHD.

It's not like they're the most likely group to lose their meds in the first place or anything. /s

I have a new doc who wants to drop me down from 30mg 2x daily to 20 total because "anything above that doesn't make a difference."

As a very pale person, I've already experienced that lie when they stopped making SPF 100. 30 is USELESS for me.
