I think I have some mild form of ADHD

[Jason Voorhees]

I have the memory of an elephant but also a squirrel at the same time.

If I can focus and lock into something I can remember things for a very long time with all the details conversations, faces, moments with lot of the details

but I also regularly forget where I kept my car keys, regularly forget taking my charger with me or why I walked into a room etc. When something is routine or unimportant is happening my brain just shuts down and is on auto pilot mode.

But when interested or emotionally engaged my is memory is extremely strong. I can spook people with my memory sometimes people often ask me how I was able to remember something

Pretty sure these traits are common for people with a mild form of ADHD subtype called ADD, it's not the kind that is debilitating like real ADHD that causes sleep issues and all that but more like the kind that makes you miserable because you constantly ruminate on past interactions. I have this. I hold onto negativity for a long time and I'm always overthinking past interactions.

There are different kinds of ADHD. ADHD is not a superpower or whatever. It's a disorder.

Jewish screens caused this. I am planning to ditch my smartphone for a Nokia but UPI is an issue

You don't have it most likely
Psychologists and Psychiatrists are giving everyone that diagnosis because they are greedy
I know one guy who has been diagnosed with mild form of this and he can't concentrate at all
People with more severe ADHD are on meds

I never got diagnosed or anything all of this is just stuff that I made up to rationalize these things and I'm just guessing it based on what I've read maybe I'm just a weird case of normal cognition that is conditioned for it like habits, life experiences also shape these things.

In all seriousness tho, it is quite interesting how ADHD affects ppl differently. My older bro has suspected undiagnosed ADHD, but he was always a straight A student throughout his whole life.

Meanwhile I'm a confirmed giga ADHDcel and tried meds, yet I barely graduated HS

I've never been diagnosed brah. All of it just speculations and ramblings but the parts of me forgotteing mundane things and remembering things far back in the past is true tho.

Yes I understand that bhai. Just saying that based on pattern recognition, I wonder how many other highly intelligent people might possibly have undiagnosed ADHD

“ADD” is just an outdated term for ADHD, do your research before posting such things.

I didnt do research but I did read about these things years ago. ADD is a subtype of ADHD iirc.

It’s not tho? ADD is the old term for ADHD, it was changed to ADHD in 1987. You are right that you didn’t do your research tho.

 

[sick kunt31]

I have ADD
