How normal is it to constantly forget things?
| Try getting tested for adhd. I’ve struggled for a decade with depression symptoms. And tried tons of different depression medication. Finally someone said hey maybe you have adhd. Got tested and wow it made a difference. No one looked at it because I looked like I was successful at things when really I was barely making it by. I have memory issues. Like I sat through an entire meeting, participated in said meeting, exited the room and asked a coworker about what happened 10m later
| >>144450 oh fuck dudei might have this.
I don't have any way to confirm it cause I fear therapy tho so I'll just have to live like this I guess
| >>144457 I don’t see a therapist. Just find a nurse practitioner if you can. Try taking several online tests and just see. I wish I had brought it up 5 years ago when I thought it could be but didn’t out of the stigma because then college would have been way more bearable.
| I’m gonna talk about meds for a sec. so before I took it all these thoughts would just flood in and I would just sift back and forth through them all not really coming to any conclusion and forgetting everything . On meds, While I still struggle with memory, when I wake up and and just lay with my eyes closed and I have like this interface to my thoughts where I can pick and choose what to think about. It’s so weird but for once I can decide what to think about.
| Wait you're afraid of therapist, but have no problems going to a clinician you know will try random meds on you?
| Pretty normal, I think. I've had that problem for a while (I think) and I have to leave notes everywhere. Might want to talk to your doctor though, you could have it worse than I do.

| Since i was a kid i have been a dumbass memory-wise
These days i realize how much i fucked up just because i had forgotten stuff, from dumb shit to stuff i had done seconds ago
I can't argue with anyone that gets angry for something in the past because i just can't remember it
Anyways, until what point should one worry for memory problems?
Maybe is it just that i never pay attention or i don't care, but i want to hear more opinions on the subject
