ADHD PI, forgetfulness
Suffering from memory retrieval of known names and places. Also face inattention problem. Severe dysfunction in execution of normal and specialized activities. Facing since childhood but prominent now because of self awareness and adulthood. I also face procrastination problem not because of laziness but for the fear of failing to accomplish tasks because of the disabilities like memory, inattention and organisation of tasks. I cannot live my life freely because of it. Cannot think beyond my difficulties which are not present in others. I cannot maintain friendship because it requires talking of subjects which requires recalling from memory. I fear I suffer from ADHD PI as the symptoms match. I quit my earlier job of a teacher as it required me to perform tasks which required memory retention and retrieval, attention and multi tasking. Forgetfulness has become a major issue.
