I have this problem that I’ve had for a couple of years now it came upon suddenly when I was in year 7 at school. It’s like I find some fasination with remembering every thought I have.
Say for example I have a list of things I have to do and I dont have a pen or paper with me at the precise moment I feel like I need to stop everything and write it in my phone. I often feel like if I forget this certain thought that its the end of the world. It’s hard to live with this on a day to day basis. And I’ve actually never told anyone about this. I’ve found that when my mind is racing and when I’m under stress this thought problem affects me more. But when I am relaxed and calm spending time with my baby boy it eases off.

  • Sounds like my experience of ADHD. I am incapable of a working memory, so l try soo hard to remember it but can’t. It is stressful because your mind cannot comprehend the executive functioning issues.

  • It could be some sort of obsession and focusing on your baby is a great way to distract yourself. I would also find other ways to distract your mind perhaps like reading , housework etc. If it gets worse consult a GP as it maybe high anxiety which happens to all of us . Hope it gets better soon .
