S1 E46 Why ADHD Makes You Forget Things You Swore You'd Remember

Have you ever borrowed something, fully intended to return it, and then somehow found it months or even years later? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Jess & Jeannine explore why borrowed things can become unexpectedly complicated for women with ADHD. From bolt cutters and favorite books to forgotten tools and casserole dishes, they discuss how executive function, time blindness, forgetfulness, and object permanence can turn good intentions into misunderstandings and why returning something is rarely as simple as it looks.

If you’ve ever wondered why ”I’ll do it later” somehow became never, or you’ve carried guilt over something you meant to give back, this conversation offers understanding, laughter, and a reminder that you’re not the only one who’s angry on the inside.
