Getting lost mid-sentence because my train of thought was taking another rail and forgot to tell my tongue, and then remembering neither what I was talking about nor what I was thinking about.
Forgetting everything, everywhere, at all times.
Inability to discern details in a space. Spent 15 minutes once desperately looking for my cane. Mother asked me what I was doing, I said searching for my cane. She pointed out it was on the chair, in plain sight. I couldn’t have helped but look directly at it several times during that search, but my mind passed it over as a detail not worth registering.
Executive dysfunction. Nothing ever got done. Most things didn’t even get started.
Hey you manage to post top quality stuff on Lemmy. What motivates you to do that? Maybe you can gamify other things in life to be like that?
I’m in no position to give advice. See my other reply in this thread.
And yeah I don’t know what I’d do without my wife. I can spend ten minutes looking for something and I give up and ask her to find it. Literally seconds later she’s showing me or putting the thing in my hand.
It makes me miss living in hotels traveling for work. I’ve got tools perfectly organized, backpack for network and PC gear, and a duffel bag for everything personal. If it’s that simple I can function.
I’m actually doing much better since I got medicated, I was just pointing out things that other people had always noticed about me that, in retrospect, were symptoms of ADHD. Thank you for the concern, though!
