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.
I have a time with a psychologist next month, to ascertain if I have ADHD or not. I’m sure I will be unable to give him any examples of why I think I have ADHD, because my mind just blanks in those situations. I know it does because that exact thing happened a few weeks ago when I was on the phone with the psychologist about scheduling that meeting, and he asked me why I thought I had ADHD, and I couldn’t produce a single example of why. I’m lucky to have gotten a time after that.
I had the idea of writing down the examples on paper as they came to me. I had that idea like 3 weeks ago, and I haven’t started writing yet. I know for sure I’m gonna be scrambling to write down some examples like 1 hour after midnight on the day of the meeting.
I have wondered if it’s even worth trying to get an adult diagnosis. I had one as a kid but it’s been cough a few years since it was managed or medically relevant.
The same exact thing happens to me all the time, it’s so frustrating to feel like a moron.
