I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What’s my blood type?

Wife asks “remember when I had strep last year?” No…

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I’ve been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I’ve met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I’m on top of what’s happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It’s really frustrating living like this, but I don’t know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

        Like yeah, I mean it sounded like a joke, but it’s really fucking serious. I’ve submitted nearly 1,000 resumes, have had maybe three or four interviews from that, and they’ve all been like kthanxbye.
