How about asking someone to repeat something twice, really really wanting to retain the information and then you fail for the third time?
Also does anyone else end up losing the entire message because you are telling yourself to remember it, and then you realize, they are done talking and you still don’t know?
And that thing where you’re reading something, and you know you read the words, but none of them “stick” and now you have to re-read the whole thing to figure out where you got lost.
Don’t blame yourself, “Getting names of people I just met wrong” and “this song is stuck in my head” aren’t exclusive to those with ADHD.
How about “This song i used to like has been playing nonstop in my head for 8 days and I just wish it would stop.”?
I was actually diagnosed as a kid though.
Every time I see things like this it’s just like one more piece of straw to the camel’s back xD I really should get tested …
Hm. What if I want it stuck in my head for 8 days?

What about “these amphetamines are making me sleepy”
