Adult ADHD and short term memory issues. Anyone relate to this Story time) #adhders #adhd #adultadhd

[FindingFarrahBlog]

I always end up wandering around my house getting distracted by random things/messes then setting my phone down at one point and have no idea where or how it got there lol

I dont have adhd but i have another illness that causes cognitive problems, including this. Basically if anything at all, inteupts what im doing, i forget the other thing completely. Which is why coffee gets left wherever i started doing "something else".. bathroom... fridge.. random furniture..

I feel your pain, I have the same memory problems with adhd

I was recently scrolling on my phone and frantically put it down, to go look for my phone... Yup 🤦

I constantly misplace and forget things. But I think for me it’s a combination of ADHD and menopause. It drives me crazy! 😖

Yes definitely! The lid for my coffe tumbler is gone atm...

Constantly misplacing my phone. Thank god for “hey Siri” because when she answers I find it

[Olivia]

Yes, recently I forgot I put my phone in my back pocket minutes when I put it there, I look all over the house for it. I freak out about those thing.

I was worried you were going to say that after making the coffee, you forgot to feed the dog. 🤦🏻‍♀️

EVERY SINGLE DAY, I LOSE MY MUG. Somewhere in my house. Every single f-ing day.

Just moved into my new place and let me tell you, unpacking has been quite the challenge. Not only that, I tend to get hyper-focused and inspired to rearrange things. Last time, it was my super glue—vanished into thin air for nearly two weeks now. Can't figure out for the life of me where it's gone. Looks like I'll be heading out for a new tube today. I've been misplacing things left and right, a daily struggle you can probably imagine! 😅 But let me clarify, this is my everyday chaos that I've come to embrace. However, it's starting to get on my nerves and interfere with my day-to-day life. Countless times I've had to sprint to the bus stop because I forgot where I left my keys just five minutes earlier, after returning from my morning dog walk. Ten minutes before the bus departs, you'll find me racing around my place like a madman, tossing things in a panic, desperately trying to locate those elusive keys. Only to discover they're in their rightful place where I should put the keys when I get home, or worse, in my pocket, or still hanging out in the door lock...🤦🏽‍♀️🫣😅

Did you just see me misplace my phone for 20min, before finding it to watch this video? 👀🙊

[sper]

Yep. Leftovers I want to take for lunch the next day

The problem isn’t short term memory. Rather with our adhd brains we end up not making the memory to begin with lol.

I can relate but it wasn’t coffee that I forgot. I was about to leave work and I was looking for my wallet couldn’t find it. It turns out I left it in the floor in some random room at work lol. Thankfully nothing was stollen from it.

[jonthamastersmooth]

I do not not understand why this happens..is it something due to our brains moving so fast?
