it was honestly such a relief to me back when i was diagnosed and i was offered psyke education i of course went and learned that because of the lack of noradrenaline and dopamine my brain needs to produce to store information as long-term memories i am not just choosing to forget stuff  my adhd is the reason why i forgot to go to birthdays i was invited to i need to have this big ass calendar up on my wall so i can write stuff like that down the second i make arrangements with other people  on the other hand my adhd brain is really good at storing memories if they have some kind of emotional impact on me especially if its negative  but before i knew of my adhd i and people around me just assumed that it was my weird personality and that i was just indifferent to certain people im so glad it isnt the case because i never really felt like it was the truth but how could i ever explain it when i didnt know what it was
