I have memory issues, along with whole other mess of things to the point where I and my therapist thinks I have adhd, but I haven't been tested for it yet so I can't say so for sure. Regardless, my memory is shit that and numerous other reasons, yet I can't get my family to understand this... I know I'm 18 and that my family wants me to start getting my life together, but at the same time, I can't help that I forget things all the time! Is there anyway you can get your family to unstand that maybe you're not purposefully forgetting things?
To start off, tell them that it's not easy to 'purposely' forget things. It's quite hard. Then have them talk to your therapist, and then get tested. I've never been in the type of situation, so this is the best I can say. reply
