I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What’s my blood type?

Wife asks “remember when I had strep last year?” No…

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I’ve been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I’ve met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I’m on top of what’s happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It’s really frustrating living like this, but I don’t know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

      Resources for how to apply yourself? Well, just focus on what you do best and do just that. We get the machine we get, we don’t get to choose, and we don’t get a manual or a fieldbook on how to use it, we can only observe, reflect, and do our best, and that is it.
