ADHD is largely misunderstood, and what you're describing could definitely be a symptom. I've struggled with 'out of sight out of mind' my entire life, so your post hit close to home. For me, a post by Mark Suster[1] resonated so deeply that I finally saw a professional, and I was diagnosed with ADHD at 29. Since then, I've learned a ton about how my brain's executive function works and have developed many strategies to overcome my own challenges. It'll be a work in progress for the rest of my life, but knowing what it is I'm working on as made a huge difference. As far as medication: it's completely personal (dosage isn't even tied to weight), so try to set aside any prior experiences you've had outside of working with a medical doctor. Academic and professional performance also aren't part of the diagnostic criteria (I graduated near 4.0, too). Even if you don't have ADHD, meeting with a doctor will help you rule it out. My $.02, hope this helps. [1] https://bothsidesofthetable.com/how-to-know-if-you-have-add-and-what-to-do-about-it-e8a705765558 https://bothsidesofthetable.com/how-to-know-if-you-have-add-...
