So sick with the flu I'm just sitting in front of the laptop blowing my nose and watching Are You Being Served? on the You Tube. The fever makes me just soak the bed with PISSsweat and also too hosed up to read. But on the plus side, this is only the second time this month I've had the flu!

man my memory 😳



some one came into work and others were like hey how are you? clearly they knew her. I asked someone who it was and they gave her name and then I said oh what did she do when she was here and my coworker said “you used to work with her”… drat


and another person started work for the xmas holidays and was introducing self etc and then someone says you were here last year huh and I looked at her and said “have we met before?” and she says yeah ../ drat



it’s one thing to forget someone but then your memory is jogged and it comes right back .. but what about when your memory is jogged and .. still blank ./. 🥺

you hear others talking about those with dementia saying things like oh they can remember millions of details about certain things and it’s like they’re in denial about accepting someone having dementia cos parts or their memory are fine


it’s like that. it’s not like a global issue with memory but just a couple things rhat make u go ohhh poo poo

well I am now treated

but I also know myself well enough to know when my memory is acting as (ai think) it should and when it surprises me that I can’t remember something


there’s a difference between forgetting something but it can be brought back (like when you forget about something stupid you did drunk) vs something you forgot but can’t be brought back (like with benzos, which is a terrifying experience)

ngl being treated for adhd is made me a much more effective cog in the machine, my pointless personality no longer gets in front of basic tasks at work


it also makes me more boring, but I assume from others perspective this means I am less annoying

years ago when I was speaking to a psychologist I was beating myself up about similar stuff. She explained that with ADHD it's not a question of remembering, you often just don't form the memory at all in the first place. There's nothing there to remember.

yep

my theory is it has something to do with whether or not the experience triggers a strong emotional response or not. your brain automatically filters it out as not important and it makes no imprint. it’s the same reason why I can usually remember how a movie made me feel and I my memories are usually linked to the stimulating parts, and I forget mostly everything else. Also it’s the same reason why I can remember funny quotes or impactful song lyrics for decades without any problem

re : memory

like adhd or any brain hosed-up-ness is an umbrella of symptoms. like when I was doing any kind of adhd assessment yeah I’d meet most criteria but some it was like no that’s not an issue at all. and while I probably do have worse memory than others I wouldn’t generally say my memory is atrocious compared to others

it’s almost by definition impossible using self inquiry to determine if your thinking at the time is hampered or not. maybe under influence of drugs, but if for example your memory is getting worse over time the only way you can tell is by noticing that you’re forgetting things you never used to forget. there is no direct awareness of this, just a
perspective gained thru knowing your own self over time. so if someone is surprised they’re forgetting things they themselves think they shouldn’t haven’t forgetten.. ugh anyway if there is a silver lining I am far more likely to get taken out by by a major cardio vascular event before dementia has its way with me :smugmrgw:
