      @Get10FitnFab05 yeah that's exactly it! I'm managing to make my way through college but it's really hard. Everyone is always double checking everything I say and making sure I've done everything. They also get super frustrated (me a little as well) because I cant remember simple and important things but I'm pretty sure there isnt a single thing about sonic the hedgehog I don't know and I could ramble off information about rocks and minerals all day. I also have entire stories written in my head that just sit there I dont forget those either. It's like my brain is an 8 GB drive and decided to fill it chalk full with that nonsense or something.

      I forget a lot of basic tasks too, or I'll swear I've done it but I actually only thought about doing it or remembered a previous time I did it. It's so frustrating that I cant be a very dependable person.

        @Mop I can totally relate! I was not able to finish college partly due to memory issues which everyone laughed off as flightyness or dumb blonde syndrome, per my family and friends. But who can blame them! Now if I quote a fact or figure whoever I'm talking to Googles it to make certain I'm correct! Or if I state I did or didn't do something someone's bound to check behind me for proof! This can really set my OCD off and running!

      I experience a lot of memory issues and I’ve taken to documenting more of my experiences. I’ve always liked taking pictures but now I’ll also write any super funny quotes down or do journal entries on days I really wanna remember
