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.

    This is literally me, except the farther out the memory is, the clearer it is. I remember stuff that I was to young to viable be able to remember.

      Same! My earliest memory is a man, who wasn’t my Father, coming to the house and giving my Mother a letter. After reading she hid it inside a flower pot underneath a fake plant. It happened in 1973 when I was just about 12 months old. I know the year because I talked to my Mom about it a few years ago and after she got over her shock she told me when it happened.

      Yes my Mom was a serial cheater and yes my first memory of life is her getting a love letter from one of her lovers. 👌
