Neurodivergence

I feel this so hard. The worst is when I put something in a "safe" spot and its lost until I basically move next. 😵‍💫

Feels like this happens to me once a day with something. If I’m particularly manic I will obsess, I will cancel plans, I’ll ruin my entire day looking said thing.

It'll drive me crazy when I find a place to put something that makes sense, so it goes there so I don't lose it, only to forget where it made sense a week ago and end up losing it anyway

I feel you. I am currently looking for a lost deodorant stick that I use every day. Luckily I had a trial size backup, Still looking ... it has been three days,

This drives me absolutely mad. I find it so frustrating and I have to work so hard not to continuously beat myself up over it

For me it's the forgetfulness around this that really grips my shit.

I lose things because I forget where I've put them, or I forget what I was doing when I last had them. My brain just goes off on its own little track, regardless of what I need it to do, then BAM, I can't find something that my wife is asking me for.

Completely randomly yesterday, I interrupted something she was saying to me to blurt out where I put the cats' Dreamies, because I suddenly remembered that I'd put them in an out of the way place so they wouldn't get to them and tear the packet up. If I'd waited until she'd finished talking, I'd have forgotten, then we'd never have found them again.
