i literally was afraid that i had some sort of early-onset dementia before i learned that adhd causes memory problems it was a huge relief  of course that doesnt change the fact that i still struggle with it but as they say knowing is half the battle and i am aware enough now to write things down or give myself other kinds of reminders when i have a feeling im going to forget something  this doesnt help much for retaining complex information but it at least helps in my day to day life how do i do this thing at work again oh yeah i wrote it down i can look in my notes
