Thank you for talking about this topic. The memory issue is one of the most annoying things with my adhd. Unfortunately I have the feeling that it is hardly ever mentioned, when talking about Adhd.

Thank you, I'm a young adult and I have suspected that I have ADHD for a couple years. When you said you don't remember much of the first 20 years of your life, I related immensely. This caused me to have an epiphany that a lot of my shortcomings in life likely stem from ADHD. I'm always forgetting important things and constantly disappointing myself and others. This causes me to doubt my own self worth. Now that I think I've identified the root of the problem, I feel like I have a path forward.

I have ADHD and a poor working memory—and it sucks. I can tell people get frustrated with me when I don't remember stuff and it's embarrassing. I don't add the burden that I can improve my memory. I simply accept my limitation and accept that others do not accept my limitation.
