Talk to a doctor. I had problems my whole life with attention and memory. It turned out to be a neurological problem and now it's mostly under control thanks to medication and therapy. If you're randomly commenting about it on HN it's probably affecting more of your life than you think it is; that's certainly the way it was for me, and I am far happier having talked to a doctor about what I thought was just a thing everyone had to deal with.
- muhula 6y agoAre you referring to ADHD or some other neurological problem?
- saulrh 6y agoAttention deficit disorder. Rather than the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive subtype that everyone imagines, though, I have the predominantly inattentive subtype. Replace all of the hyperactivity symptoms with a double helping of forgetfulness and attention fatigue. Then add a heaping pile of self-loathing because everyone condemns your "laziness" as a moral failing that you can get over by focusing harder. Which you are, of course, physically incapable of. It's great fun. That said, I'm not going to diagnose OP based on two lines of text. Talk to a doctor.
