ADHD person here. And I’m just so drained from spending hours meticulously looking for (essentially) $20.

It’s not about money — I’ll live without the $20. I’ve just lost so many important things in my life so many times that it drives me absolutely fucking insane. Seething, heart thumping, muscle flexing rage.

And what makes things worse is that I take measures to prevent this from happening. So when I still lose things, the failure just cuts twice as deep.

Not looking for any solutions atm. Just venting to folks who might get it while I physically recover and let the loss go. Thanks all.

    It’ll drive me crazy when I find a place to put something that makes sense, so it goes there so I don’t lose it, only to forget where it made sense a week ago and end up losing it anyway

    Feels like this happens to me once a day with something. If I’m particularly manic I will obsess, I will cancel plans, I’ll ruin my entire day looking said thing.

    This drives me absolutely mad. I find it so frustrating and I have to work so hard not to continuously beat myself up over it

    I feel this so hard. The worst is when I put something in a “safe” spot and its lost until I basically move next. 😵‍💫
