I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What's my blood type?

Wife asks "remember when I had strep last year?" No...

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I've been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I've met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I'm on top of what's happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It's really frustrating living like this, but I don't know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

Oh also, especially fun in context of ADHD and various psychiatric comorbidities:

Medical personnel: Do you ever experience [situation]?

Me: oh yes, all the time.

Medical personnel: Can you give an example?

My brain: (whiter noise)

Interview for a new job for which I am perfectly qualified: "Tell me about a time that you <something which I do at least weekly in my current position>"
