I forgor 💀
Small business owner here, the existential dread is real. Usually because it’s true, and I won’t realize what I forgot to do until I go to bed.
It’s like my boss, every time I walk past him I have to go “remember to send that package”. Get to the end of the day “hey boss did you send that package?” … … … …
Why do you need to manage your boss?
Because I’m the one that answers the phone.
Being a calendar notification != Managing your boss
I graduated 20 years ago and I still startle sometimes and panic that I’m forgetting to study for an exam.
My wife is back in evening school to get het bachelors degree. Seeing her stressed and studying has triggered this a lit for me. Sometimes I even have nightmares that I didn’t graduate and still need to complete one course.
PTSD just got added to reasons as to why school is bad. Looking forward for another day even more.
context: I’m on my bus to school and I despise school.
Haha, me too! The other day I woke up, panicked that I had forgotten to sit an exam, and that the degree that I’ve been telling multiple employers for 15 years that I had was a lie. I’m glad that this recurring nightmare isn’t just me…
This was what i felt after I graduated from college. I was already working full time, so any amount of free time felt weired.
General anxiety disorder
Or possibly ADHD, in which case the feeling is because there probably IS something you forgot to do
pooping
Oh I know what it is and I’m trying to not remember on purpose please don’t remind me
ADD
Don’t listen to him, OP. You should be out there multiplying.
not even following PEMDAS and doing stuff within parentheses or with exponents before multiplying
Uhh, this doesn’t apply if I’m just forgetful and there most certainly is something I’m supposed to be doing is there?
I guess it would depend on frequency
Even more so
Oh hey it’s the first 30 years of my life.
SSRIs help
I tried SSRI and they gave me anxiety more intense than the worst I’ve felt. I’m the “lucky” ~15% of people who respond to them that way
I lucked out and got it right the first time
don’t worry you will remember it some time after it’s too late to do
Relatable
I feel this in my soul.
