To live my life instead of just being alive.

it doesn't help that once I get back in my anti depressants it makes me feel sad as shit for like 2 days

Respond. To anything.

I need to think about it for an hour or a week before responding. I likely will forget what I was thinking about and never finish the thought.

like everything. I usually have emails and such I read through again and again to orient myself on what im doing.

Same... when I write a mail at work I usually add details so my forgetful ass can look up what I did later, in case I need to reproduce the task. It's not necessarily important to the recipients.

yeah I would not mind an email system that would allow me to add notes without it effecting the chain. So I could still reply all and the notes would stay with the chain but no one would see them.

I usually forget to buy something while grocery shopping, whether it be in person, or ordering. There's no pattern behind it, the items are completely unrelated to a theme (eg. coffee, soap, mouthwash, bread, milk, eggs, potatoes, salt, etc.) as far as I can tell, I just forget to buy something.

We have a little whiteboard on the fridge, and every time we run out of something or think of something we need, we write it up. When going to the supermarket, I take a photo with my phone - instant shopping list!

Oh, I type out a full list every time on my phone, check it about 3-4 times when starting, then I get cocky as "of course I remember what's on the list, I read it 5 minutes ago..." and proceed to forget about that one thing.

I don't remember
