how my adhd affects me
i’ve never been diagnosed but ik i’m not like neurotypical people. plus my mom and one of my brothers have it. but i feel like it messes up my memory. i don’t mean to forget things bc it makes people think i don’t listen to them. i do listen but i also have 10,000 things in my head as well. i honestly feel like i mask a lot as well, bc i can only truly be myself when im alone. this isn’t all though

I can understand what you're saying. It's like you jump too quickly into the next train of thought and when you try to go back to something important it's just blank.
exactlyyy. it’s draining honestly
@pioneeringCurrent1554
I hear you. Something I do to help me remember is write things down because I know I'll forget otherwise.

same, my notes go on for days. i even write notes about ppl in their contact info wen i meet them. i’m honestly scared to get older the way i forget everything
@pioneeringCurrent1554
For real. I'm always greeting people I've met several times before. XD DX
@GentleFish how do you remember to write things down? Especially during important conversations?
@easyScarf7950
Practice.

@GentleFish is there a particular method you use? I use my phone a lot. Should I just run and grab my phone when I sense that my husband is about to say something that I need to remember daily or anytime in the future, and then make a note? Sometimes he will remind me of something we discussed a long time ago and I would be convinced that the discussion never happened.
