I'm not ADHD, at least not diagnosed, but the one that gets me is I'll be coming in from outdoors thinking about the 12 little things I need to do right now (go pee, get tea started, clean dog bowls, put away the cups, fold the blanket, close blinds, and so on) and then next thing I hear is someone calling my name "can you come hold this for me while I ..." and suddenly that list I've meticulously curated and held in my short term memory for the past 10 minutes is just gone and now who knows when I'll get around to checking if I need to put ketchup on the grocery list cause fuck if I'll remember to do it any time soon.

Sounds about right, except I think with ADHD you're probably struggling to hold one or maybe two things in your head.

Lol, yep. I was a little taken aback by that comment. 12 things? 12?! I need to start a physical list if I have more than two things to do.
