I can’t anymore, it’s been like this my whole life and I have to just watch how the people around me constantly have to help out. And it makes me feel horrible.

I take meds and it does help, but every once in a while I’m hit with a couple of days where I’m getting smacked around like a ragdoll visiting the Grand Canyon vertically. (Or a piniata, because that’s the picture I found).

I’m on time at the wrong location

God I hate when that happens.

Re: just the appt stuff - I rely heavily on my phone's calendar. Years ago, I adopted the mindset of "if it's not in the calendar, it doesn't exist", so any time I need to make a followup appt, I make sure to stop at the front desk with my phone out and do not leave until I have the date, time, and location marked in the calendar. It takes a bit of upfront effort to get the habit going, but it's been hugely beneficial for me and my family overall.

Before smart phones, I would have been the guy carrying a full planner everywhere I go.

Have you tried blood pressure meds? Propranolol?

Not yet, will look into it.

weird, but yes. they help. I'm not the only one?

It helps keep that adrenaline rush from being a big deal whenever I realize when I've done/forgotten something.

Thanks for that, that's interesting and mostly makes sense (some of that page went over my head).
