Hi, I’m new to lemmy and this is my first post. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for a while now and I’m on medication. I’ve always had issues with memory and was wondering if this could have something to do with my ADHD, as taking the meds seems to help and it’s only with small, simple things like what I did today or had for breakfast, sometimes even things I just saw or did seconds ago.

    Yes, that’s a good distinction. It’s not like I’m constantly forgetting my name or where I work, I just can’t keep it all within my minds grasp at all times.

    I often miss birthdays, and I always say it’s not because I didn’t know your birthday was May 23rd, it’s because I didn’t know TODAY was May 23rd.

      As I’ve missed my own birthday so many times. My wedding anniversary mostly falls when we’re on vacation so it’s even worse. I’m not aware of time at all when we’re on vacation.
