`I can't even begin to describe how many times I've walked into a room, opened my phone, or even started a sentence-- only to forget what I was trying to do entirely. People get frustrated having to remind me of things over and over. I've been accused of "selective listening" more times than I can count. If I don't write something down, it will not take root in my brain. Mental to-do's that don't get written down get forgotten. Socks and keys disappear even when I think I know where I put them. I can't concentrate to save my life, and find myself distracted by my own thoughts and curiosities. If my brain isn't engaged, I am simply not there. If I'm bored, I often find myself tuning out entirely and turning to daydreaming or doodling. If I'm not making eye contact, I'm not listening.

I feel like this is one of the most stereotypical aspects of adhd. I have recently introduced a rule of consistent note taking at work and, having gone through three notebooks in six months, the difference in my life is amazing.

The current thinking is that ADHD brains are kind of "under-activated" - not enough dopamine means that it takes much stronger stimulation, like from something interesting/shine/novel to hold our attention. When you have to pay attention deliberately/on manual it's a whole lot of effort - we can't do it for very long. It's like our signal-to-noise ratio is off - the 'noise' is much louder than it should be.

Now that's I'm older I can get away with jokes like the one about having "kitchenheimers" - it's when you go in kitchen, intent and purposeful, then stop, look around and think "what the f*** did I come in here for?" Then you have go to what you were doing before to re-cue yourself, praying the whole time you don't get distracted by something else... But, when I was in college, my nickname was...."Space Cadet". No lie. Guess I've finally grown into a socially acceptable reason for my symptoms. Tamsyn's completely on it - note taking is a super-power, reducing the load on working memory, giving you something to do that helps staying engaged and backing up your memory. Mindfulness training is another big help, literally working out attention and concentration for brief periods. And...I need to go back to what I'm actually supposed to be doing rn. Love the faces!! You've got that "picture worth 1,000 words thing" going . I've started using some of your graphics in session - big appreciation!
