Cant get myself to take meds

Medication

Hoping someone else has experience or tips with this! I am on 4 medications (1 for anxiety/depression, 1 for autoimmune disease, 1 for acne, and 1 other). I take all my pills about 50% of the time, and that's honestly generous. For the life of me I cannot be consistent with taking my meds.

It's not even side effects or something, its more the idea of wasting time taking them. I have tried pill containers, alarms, having my partner remind me, bullying myself into it. It lasts for a week and then I fall off again. It's so so difficult for me, and if I get depressed or anxious the first thing I stop doing is taking my meds which is the OPPOSITE of what I should do.

Does anyone else experience this? Any tips on how to take them more consistently?
