The executive in charge of my function must be on sabbatical. What else explains the reason that I have been acting like an alzheimers's patient?
For example, I place my keys on the kitchen counter and walk away. No later than 30 seconds pass and I walk around my cramped apartment trying to find my keys! Where are they? Then, I think about where my cell phone is. Suddenly, like a flash of lightning, I know my keys are on the kitchen counter. Mission #1 accomplished. So, I'm continuing to walk around to get ready for work when out of nowhere, as if from another dimension,I slowly insert my left hand in my coat pocket and find my cell phone; which was placed there before I walked into the kitchen with my keys.
Incidents like this are happening to me more frequentely. Something 'aint right. Maybe it's a problem with working memory...but I know what happend. Working memory isn't working at all. He's on sabbatical along with the executive.
Is this what happens to an adult ADDer who is under a lot of stress? They get CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t) disease? Extreme absentmindedness? Well, not remembering where you just put something is simply frustrating to no end.
Anyway, I'm rambling nonsense because I'm getting sleepy. Time for bed.
Take care people... :-)
