Its attatched to the toilet paper dispenser. Ive literally looked at it multiple times a day for like 10 months and my brain never noticed

Anyone else feel like theyre one step from being blind? I always lose so much shit in plain site. Sometimes I leave a wallet on my desk, which I use daily, and I can’t find it for days. I’ll even MOVE IT and not realize its my wallet.

    I don’t have adhd and this just popped up in my feed. Can you please explain what you mean by that? How do you remember yet not remember at the same time?

      It’s actually pretty easy. You don’t think about or know something at all. Maybe this thing is really important to you, but that doesn’t matter. Then when you find out the answer all of the details come flooding back to you. So not only do you now know where the thing is, what you were doing, how to proceed, etc. But you also remember knowing it the whole time. I like to describe my ADHD as having pretty good memory, actually. I’m just not the one in control of how I use it. I will remember specific things in insane detail, but forget important things. I have a feel for things that I’ll remember and use it to my advantage. I know I can remember rules/policies really well so I try to read them when I can. I’m a certified arborist because of that.
