My son has a hard time remembering his text books and such. But that just maybe because he's 10. Try one of those pocket recorders. I think it's called a memory minder. It's about the size of a key chain and you cant record things you need to remember, instead of writing them down.
I will be praying for you.

Thanks, for bringing this topic up. I forget my wallet sometimes, just lost my atm carde (NEVER have I lost that before) and I go into screaming raging fits often over it, bc I get so frustrated. I think I will look for one of those devices praisesinger mentioned.

Can relate to the miss-placing of wallets and car keys, loosing valuables at the shops. Not sure if ADD/ADHD is all to blame. It could be a cause effect of depression. Since starting stimulant medication I have noticed my depression has eased off big time. I'm not miss-placing or loosing objects anymore.
My wife has developed depression and as it has got deeper I have noticed she is miss-placing and loosing things. She has become more clumsy and forgetful. I wonder if people who suffer from depression disorder have these issues?

I loose and forget so much so like with my car keys I put them in the same spot consistanly so I dont loose them. I keep my wallet in a certain spot always remembering to put it in the same spots cut down on me miss placing or loosing things.

i always feel as if i am trying to find the things that i have lost. if only i can find my mind half the time , maybe i won't loose anything else. lol

I used to put post it notes everywhere. it was terrible, but worked. i truely don't know how i do it most days. lol

I have the same problem...but for me it's forgetting what I have done or not done. I forget to mail bills, make phone calls, and sometimes some will say to me that I forgot to call them, and I can't remember ever making the promise. It errodes self-confidence, at least with me.

I am horrible about returning phone calls and text messages too. I forget to call/text back right away. And I don't remember until the person brings it up. I've left my card in the atm. I left my keys in teh bank the other day and stood out in the parking lot emptying my purse until a woman came out with them....

but I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one :)

i have this prop i have been give long term assinments and forgotten till the teacher wants them tyrned in. i also forget what i havw to do everyday unless i write it down on my calinder.

Sometimes I forget my apartment keys and accidentally lock myself out of my apartment. Once I forgot my cell phone at church. Dawn

I'm a maintenance worker and I have forgotten tools all over the apartment building. I write appointments down then neglect/forget to check my calander. I'll write notes to myself and lose them. Eventually I'll remember but by then I'm usually double-booked and have to run around rescheduling things, doing damage control
