#adhd forgetfulness

[arthyritis]

When I say I forget my friends exist sometimes, by the way, I don't mean that y'all have completely vacated from my mind.

It's kind of like a plate in a microwave that the beeping is broken on. It finished spinning but because you're not actively watching it to see when it's done, you forget you were ever making food, usually until you smell it and get reminded that you have food in the microwave.

As for friends, I see the messages, but because there's nothing there actively reminding me, they're just kind of sitting there perpetually. I can think about them, but I've forgotten the act of interacting personally (outside of reblogging posts from one another) exists, basically.

having adhd is like that feeling when you walk into a room and can’t remember what you went in there for, except it’s almost constant

All I’m saying is if I’m able to watch netflix show without getting distracted every 5 seconds, and can give it my full attention. Thats gotta be a damn good and Interesting show.

Does anyone else also feels like their brain shuts down when you have to pick something out of a barrage of things. I mean like a supermarket situation, or pinterest.

I get so incredibly distracted by the variety of things present my brain completely shuts down and I can't remember for the life of me what I wanted there.

Adhd is being pretty sure that the pocketknife you lost in your bed doesn’t have its knife attachment out...... you flipped it back in,,,,,,, right........

forgot the alarm code for work, then forgot my mask, then forgot to get cat food and in going out to get cat food, forgot my phone, and then almost forgot my glasses at the checkout

really hoping I've filled the ADHD forgetfulness quota for today

do u remind yourself to eat or need to have someone that depends on u for food (or reminds u to eat) bc or else you wouldn't, or are you a high functioning non-neurotypical person without adhd
