I open a comm to post, and I forget what fucking comm I'm in and have to double check so I know what to look for - sometimes two or three times. Immensely irritating. This is how I've operated most of my life, but it's especially frustrating now that I know it's not how it has to fucking be. Flowers for Algernon over here.

Fucking American healthcare. "At least we're not Canada, you might have to wait for important care!" The fuck am I doing right now, then?

Pretty fast. As long as I can keep the thought going, things are mostly okay. When I have to stop to sort through something or search through unrelated material, like my image folders, I lose what I was doing fast.

@adhd Hmm.. Don’t you hate when you are working on something, someone calls you over to do something with them then you go about your day. Then the original thing you where doing somebody reminds you and your like OMG! or just leaving stuff that you where doing and hitting your head like Doh!
