Open original source ↗“While I have official diagnoses of ADHD, depression and anxiety, what's been truly devastating for me is the combination of three interconnected challenges: 1. Poor memory: Severely impaired across all types… 2. Lack of emotions: Complete emotional numbness, very unreactive no feelings whatsoever. 3. Blank mind: No spontaneous thoughts, automatic associations, opinions, and struggle to think on the spot. Can’t problem-solve real-time situations. This has been lifelong but only really caught up with me in my 20s (I’m 26).”
