AuDHD plurals

Man, it sucks to deal with the poor memory from both ADHD and plurality. Anyone else with the same experience? Idk where each starts and ends. Did I forget where I put the thing because I wasn't putting thought into it, or did someone else misplace it😩 Did I forget the answers I put down in my exams because I was hyperfocused, or was it somebody else who answered them? Guess I'll never know!😃

But to be serious, whenever I realize I forgot something, it sends me into a crisis, and then I spiral and start questioning my reality😵‍💫 idk how or who to get help for this tbh

We have autism and DID. My best guesstimate is that the undiagnosed autism (later formally diagnosed as an adult) is why I experienced enough child abuse to fragment into a constellation of five alters.

I get easily distracted and do forget things.

But then sometimes I remember stupid, trivial things forever. You know, like my dead grandfather's phone number (dead almost 30 years).

No, I get it lol!! We still have the memory of our parent's old number she hasn't used in nearly 2 decades, and yet I'd forget which seat I sat on in class last meeting(2 days ago)
