Hi, I’m new to lemmy and this is my first post. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for a while now and I’m on medication. I’ve always had issues with memory and was wondering if this could have something to do with my ADHD, as taking the meds seems to help and it’s only with small, simple things like what I did today or had for breakfast, sometimes even things I just saw or did seconds ago.

      I’m a professional cook and do this all the time. Even worse is when I need something from the walk in fridge, but when I get there I’ve forgotten what I needed. I’ll walk back to the kitchen, remember what I needed only to forget it again when at the fridge again

      Say out loud where you put it. I day out loud when I close a door, or do a task which I easily forget. Then I remember it more easily, because I said and heard it.
