Memory glitches and ADHD - Share your insights, experiences.

When trying to remember things on rebound, pictures of things that has nothing to do with the memory joins it, but only for rebound.

That's an insulting glitch, as I take great pride in my relatively accurate memory of places.

all my life i have been told by people around me that i always remember things wrong. it's a conspiracy, i tell you

I have ADHD, Not sure if you mean this though.. Ii don't remember anything really, I can't remember what I didthis morning.. Only sections.
Yesterday?
Haha.. What happened?
I don't know.

Try writing important things in a book.

hello hannah_x- welcome to WP
if i didn't write stuff down, i would just evaporate forever.

I switch things all the time. This is supposed to go there, and that here. But, it could be the other way around??? Ack!
Remembering things wrongly is another thing I do. It's particularly bad when trying to help someone else.
I've got those memory holes too, but I tested as having an average memory.

I can't tell you all the times I've mixed up dates and times for appointments. You'd think I would learn to get it right, but I inevitably look at the wrong day on the calendar and get it all mixed up anyway. Details are not my friends.

life is one daily never-ending struggle to fail-proof things.

Thanks auntblabby, I really like it here!
I've given up on fail-proofing things, I think my glitches own me.

This thread has brought back some memories though. like the time in college when I walked into my physiology class wondering why I didn't recognize anyone in the room. After sitting there five minutes I realized that I was an hour early.

my oldfart advice to you, is if you are ever curious about the Philosophy Politics and Religion forum, to lurk a good long time before you venture any opinions, get a feel for that place, as it is the most contentious and challenging of the forums. i just don't want to see you get discouraged from WP in general.



i can't tell you the number of times i have "fallen forwards and sprung backwards" when it comes to daylight savings time. many times i have driven in to work while wondering why the roads were curiously empty of rush-hour traffic, only to arrive either 2 hours early or late.

I appreciate your advice. I tend to shy away from anything too controversial because I turn into :twisted: when I get angry. And I don't like that person.

I'm diagnosed with adhd. I went through alot of tests where at one point they told me my "work memory" is broken. As i understand it, work meomory is

... i forgot what i was about to say... lol
