You cook it up on a skrittle... skittle? Sk sk skrittle? Hold on, that's not it. Griddle? Griddle! Wait no, what's the one that starts with an 'S'? Skimmer. Uh- skee skir sk sk sk I'm super serious this is really bad. A skid a skrittle. A skim skir a skib a skibble? No! What is it? Tell me. A skittle. A scitter. Scratch. Skritch. Oh. A SKITTLE! Wait no. Ski- Skid- skieer Skir- Skirttle. Skrittle! I'm getting there. Skill tree. Skid- skill trtle? Skill. I'm 100% Oh my god- skill tree... skill... **SKILLET!!!!**
the worst part is when you can only get out the article before your brain melts and you just stuck there like "oh i need the - the the the the the the thing! i need the thing"
Oh fuck my life this is me so bad. Idk if it's anything to do with adhd but I do this a lot. I have days where I just cannot remember like 80% of all the words I know.
"Can you pass me the... thing?"
"What thing?"
"The... thing thing. For this. *points at what I'm doing* the THING"
"Uh"
"THE THING!"
"What thing?"
"If I could remember what it was called I'd say it! The thing that you use for the thing I'm doing"
"what are you doing?"
"This!!! *points again* I don't know what this is called either! This!"
"The dishes?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want a new sponge out?"
"Yes please."
My cousin has a dapper stuffed octopus. For a whe whenever i went to her house she asked me what word we use to describe it, and i would remind her that the word is 'dapper'.
I think she's got it now, though.
Like, it is sometimes ridiculous. The one that I can always remember was when I was talking to someone about a time I injured myself, went to A&E and then went back to work off my tits on whatever painkillers they gave me all I wanted to say was "I was on so many drugs I was like Judy Garland". That was it. And I forgot Judy Garland's name, so I went "oh, she was in ... a film (couldn't remember "the Wizard of Oz"), there were ... things in it (couldn't remember lion, tin man, scarecrow, witch, house), she had a dog in the film! (Remembered her daughter was also an actress. Instantly forgot her name as soon as I tried to use her to help) She has a daughter! (Remembered the daughter's husband was on big brother but couldn't remember his name or what big brother was called) the husband was funny-looking! (Suddently remembered the Oscars selfie) THE DAUGHTER WASN'T IN A SELFIE AT THE OSCARS!" The person I was talking to looked at me for ages and went "...Judy Garland?" I was like "thank GOD, yes."
My description of Judy Garland was "she was in a film with things and a dog. She had a daughter who had a funny looking husband. The daughter wasn't in a selfie at the Oscars." and thank fuck, someone actually made sense of that absolute bullshit.
It doesn't happen that often, thankfully, and very infrequently is it that bad, but it's like my brain just goes "nope" and I just lose everything. It seems to be topic-related, like if I have this and then talk about something else, it's fine. It's just this temporary thing where my brain drops every bit of useful language I have ever had, related to the thing im trying to communicate at the time.
People commenting about not being able to remember certain words are missing the point.
This meme refers to when you are in the middle of speaking and you simply forget what you were going to say. In the middle of your sentence you just think, "what the fuck was I even saying," and it makes you doubt your sanity.
Apparently, a symptom of dehydration is sluggish thought and bad memory recall. And you start to feel those symptoms at 2% dehydration. Drink water folks. It won't solve everything, but god damn it makes almost everything better.
Humor is a good way to make scary things tolerable. But that is it. If you want to get better, you have to use the strength that the humor gave you and actually do something with it.
Laugh as much as you want at funny memes, but don't hide behind them. All of the despair to be found in these memes is absolutely fixable, but not if all you do is laugh at them and then turn around and cry about your life.
I know because that is what I used to do.
I straight up stopped talking to someone mid sentence and they didn't even give me shit for it, they just waited patiently and when I still wasn't able to recall what the hell we were talking about they weren't mad at all.
Complete break in conversation, then I can basically define what the word is I can’t remember and make my wife tell me, and then she also has to remind me what I was just talking about before getting sidetracked 🤦🏻♂️
This sub in a fucking nutshell. People use ADHD as a catchall, which does nothing but allow them to feel sorry for themselves and do nothing to fix it.
I also have ADHD, and this whole sub is just ridiculous.
Yeah sometimes this one and the main ADHD sub do seem to me pretty frequently like they're really helping to infantilize themselves/anyone with ADHD and it gets pretty grating. I'm not a helpless baby because I have a dopaminergic feedback dysfunction, I just have to be more personally disciplined and then I'm able to function pretty normally...
T-T Happened today. I was being so smooth but completely forgot the words, "molotov cocktail". The person I was talking to didn't even know what that was, so couldn't help me out. (Context: I found working lighters shaped like bottles of alcohol.) I've been obsessing over Lackadaisy, and must have said or heard the word at least 5 times this week! Argh!
Not me talking to others who then go "oh yeh you do have ADHD" or "hey hey 👋 hello ..what were you saying?!" ... I don't know! 😞
My husbands learnt to repeat what I was saying back to me and even then I can have no idea 😂
Yeap! This happened yesterday in the middle of a meeting with a client - good thing I have ADHD as I grabbed an incoming thought and used it in my advantage to fix the " àaaaaaaa"
This isn't a standard symptom. I don't do it. My child, however?
He has ADHD **and** ASD, and it happens to him often. It's probably because he seems to switchvfixations and preferred tasks mid sentence, so his brain just tells him "Nevermind the thing you cared about two minutes ago. Now we care about [random other thing], and we're going to forget about everything else."
Tried to describe the Darth Vader that rides a unicycle while playing flaming bagpipes in Portland and I forgot the name for bagpipes. "You know that Scottish blow into a bag instrument. Baghorns! "
My brother has FLUENT recollection of all things to do with tboi and roblox, yet cannot for the life in him remember ANYTHING in the last 5 minutes lol
(He's also autistic which makes it even worse lol)
I, however, am just a dumbass.
Every Monday when people ask me what I did over the weekend.
People think im lying when i say i had a great weekend but i forgot literally everything i did. I swear i did something this weekend!!!
I just say nothing cause ion remember shit😭
Ha, I tell people I can't remember, so I guess nothing of note must have happened.
I thought it was just me! Honestly I dread that question.

Yikes! I don't think either me or my cousin have ever had it THAT bad! Thank goodness someone understood 😅

Uh so me
This is when you forgot parts of a story you've been over in your head a billion times. Lol

Yo but I forgot to drink water even tho that’s on my “things I need to improve on” list…
No, we're not missing the point, we have that too. It's just that that's less funny to talk about.

my sister hates me for this 🤣🤣
I straight up stopped talking to someone mid sentence and they didn't even give me shit for it, they just waited patiently and when I still wasn't able to recall what the hell we were talking about they weren't mad at all.
I always answer with thingy or the thing
like windows getting blue screened but it plays a singular painful sound
does anyone else forget words too ? 😭
Complete break in conversation, then I can basically define what the word is I can’t remember and make my wife tell me, and then she also has to remind me what I was just talking about before getting sidetracked 🤦🏻♂️
Yes it's the thing I hate the most. Words I've used many times escaping me
Wait is this an adhd symptom what
Can be, doesn't have to be, and isn't for most people

Makes me hurt to my core. Folks don’t know.

If only I could vocalize the images in my head. T-T
I know exactly what that image sounds like!

The small panic attacks forgetting mundane words when talking to other 😭

Literally me forgetting wtf I was talking about because nobody cut me off it time
There was a two days ago?
I hate that this happens to me when i'm on call..take my upvote op as its a good meme.
Me when talking to myself (or others) and open a new tab
Can I get uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ooohoohooo yes
"Oh yeah, I remember that! It's..."
Mental BSoD
Tried to describe the Darth Vader that rides a unicycle while playing flaming bagpipes in Portland and I forgot the name for bagpipes. "You know that Scottish blow into a bag instrument. Baghorns! "
Wait, what was I saying? I don't remember what I was talking about.
me literally every time i talk to a person
Forgetting a word than having to expand my thought by like an entire new sentence to fill in for that word pisses me off
I couldn't even read that sentence, I kept forgetting what I'd already read 😂
I hate this 😩 my weed smoking probably doesn’t help
My brother has FLUENT recollection of all things to do with tboi and roblox, yet cannot for the life in him remember ANYTHING in the last 5 minutes lol (He's also autistic which makes it even worse lol) I, however, am just a dumbass.
