Do adhd people actually have shit memories, or are we just typically incapable of paying attention long enough to form actually useful memories that aren't just snapshots of weird bullshit
Yes
Specifically it's a deficiency in "Working memory". In general it means you have trouble holding many things in your memory at once.
I’m fucking amazing at holding context. BUT. Only when shit is on fire. Then I’m like a superhero of holding all the crap in my head all at once.
Regular day at work? Can’t remember what I was doing if I get a notification in my phone and quickly look at it
I read recently that a big factor is motivation for the ADHD brain, where long term reward can be a motivating factor for a non-ADHD brain other things like urgency can be a much more powerful motivator for an ADHD brain. For me, something needing to be done but not urgently doesn't motivate me at all, but when that same thing needs to be solved immediately I lock in knock it out ezpz

Is the template from Inception? I seriously can't remember...
It's from the series "The Umbrella Academy".

It's pretty good! The music choices are great, and overall it's just a fun watch.
I've tried watching it at least 3x now - it's just such a slow build that by somewhere around ep 4-5 I stop watching & have to start over again when going back months later. It was interesting, but boring at the same time.
This hurts. I feel called out
