Memory recall is the worst for me. Long-term or short-term, cognitive; all bad.
- Did you remember to grab your laptop on your way to work? Nope.
- Do you remember going to the movie theater, sitting in your seat, and watching the new animated Adams Family movie with your family? Nope.
- Did you move that load of towels from the washer to the dryer four days ago? Nope.
- Did you remember your wife's name after fifteen years of marriage when introducing her to your new coworkers? Nope.
- Do you remember the word for that super simple thing? It's literally the opposite of down, and you should definitely not be stumbling on this word because we're on a conference call. Nope.

I absolutely hate it when my language center segfaults and I feel like I have aphasia. I will go through periods where it happens a concerning amount, and then back to a sprinkle of dysfunction. Forgetting simple words or names of people you have known for years is unsettling. I sometimes get really scared and panic if it happens a lot. Trying to explain to your coworkers on a conference call that your brain isn't functioning correctly isn't the most comfortable experience.

Just tell them that they are dramatic pauses!
It worked once for me, but I think the person who laughed also has ADHD.

I have said "my brain isn't braining" several times, people have always understood.

Ah damn. That sucks. How do you cope with that?

With every ADHD meme I'm self-diagnosing with it more and more. Just today I had to say "I don't know what I'm trying to say" in the middle of sentence twice.

I particularly remember the heart-dropping feeling of the repeated changes in pitch as it negotiated a lower baud rate to account for the shitty wiring my dad DIY'd.

Its great when your re watching shows that you've seen a dozen times but dont remember. Other than that, yeah kinda sucks.
