Not Coping

Thank you. I'll have a look.

What about train of thought?

For example, if I'm talking and I either get distracted or someone starts talking to me, I will forget what I'm saying and would either have to ask what I was up to when I'm saying something or have a big think. @Jynx

Most welcome @Shaz51

Hope today was most kindest to you. 🦋

Oh ya that's a big ADHD mood haha! I do that all the time. Or I forget what I'm saying halfway through a sentence, or I have to interrupt others because if I don't say what's on my mind right now I will forget it. I also always lose stuff, forget where I've put things, or forget to bring things with me when I leave the house. I am almost always on time, but I do still experience time-blindness, which I can totally explain to you next time!

Alright I'm off, for realsies this time! But if you wanna talk more about this next week I'd be happy to 😊 I may forget though! But feel free to tag me next week and/or pop something up on the ADHD thread if you wanna chat to the folks over there about it. I'm subscribed to that thread too so anything you post there I'll be able to check out when I'm next on.

Nighty night! Huuuugs 💜

@Jynx @Birdofparadise8 @sparticus1 You describe my forgetfulness to a tee. I often turn around to do something important then have no recollection of what was so important. I find myself switching between 4 or five tasks at a time. I (attempt) to keep my phone on me to take notes and pictures of tasks which to be done and things I notice. I am aphantasic affecting all senses and have to manually remember how it felt - not relying on my minds eye. I wonder if it is the aphantasia which makes me so forgetful.

I interrupt people to ask a question about what they are saying, or I'll try to answer their question before they've finished asking it. Or because I might forget. I don't do it all the time, but people can get annoyed, but I just don't know how not to.

That would be good. I've never heard of time blindness.

Thank you @Jynx

Talk when you next around.

Hi @Shaz51

Hi @Blackbird11

Hi @ArraDreaming @Shaz51 @Blackbird11 @tyme @creative_writer @Snowie @RiverSeal @Bow @ENKELI

A new roommate has arrived today. She seems nice; she has gone back to her boyfriend's house to get some stuff.

Let's hope we get along well. I wonder how tonight will go. I'm a little nervous.

I've been in the apartment for a couple of weeks on my own @RiverSeal

Today will be the first day with someone here. She isn't here at the moment. She had to go to Geelong to get some things and then will come back.

It's been pretty lonely, really.

I did meet up for the Gals Brunch a week ago as well. We are catching up next week at the botanical gardens.

Well, it's good that your roommate is moving in today and the apartment will be livelier @Birdofparadise8. I hope it goes well with her and remember you can always check in and tag me anytime. I have lived in 28 share houses so have plenty of experience with roommates and things.

The gals lunch sounds amazing, and I love the Botanical Gardens so that will be great too! I hope it's a nice day when you go, and you can enjoy some sunshine surrounded by the gardens. Have you been to the Moonlight Cinema at the gardens?

I've socially transitioned recently and have been presenting as my authentic self since we caught up last. It's amazing and I feel so much better like a huge weight is lifted from my shoulders. It's not been without challenges mainly with my family but work and my friends have been so supportive. Cost a bomb though with having to increase my wardrobe with more female clothing hehe

When does uni start for you?

Take care
