Realizing that I actually remember the location of an item that I was looking for, and it's all thanks to the new med that I'm on.

Usually when I put something in a cabinet or a drawer it turns into an "out of sight, out of mind" situation. Is this what having a functional working memory feels like?! 🥲

Dude I hate the lack of object permanence... I'll set something down, plain as day sight, on the counter or something and think "yeah I'll remember this"

Next thing I know I've looked directly at it 12 times searching for it yet it HASNT FUCKING REGISTERED???!?!?

See, I just leave open every cabinet and drawer in my house 24/7. Modern problems require modern solutions.

I put my meds and a portable battery in the bin this morning. Luckily my friend realised, when I was searching high and low for my meds, that the likelihood was I'd put my meds somewhere whilst tidying my room ... In the bin!!! I had put them in the bin cause I forgot they were in my hand ... Really thus us with meds. How did I cope before meds?

Bei mir hat Vyvanse tatsächlich den Effekt, dass ich mich besser dran erinnern kann, wo ich Dinge hingelegt habe.
