    I need to see it written down to really comprehend it. If you say numbers to be they are immediately lost.

        My wife and I recently read that people remember things different ways. One of the ways people remember is the emotions around a situation and not so much the words that were said.

        This is me perfectly, I can’t recall what happened but i remember how everyone felt about it.

        So I can’t tell you the words that someone said about going to the airport, but I can tell you they don’t want to go. But just not the words they used.

    I heard you the first time. But I forgot 23 seconds later. Any time I remember I’m gonna forget.

    What?

    My wife started taking meds that have severely affected her ability to concentrate and remember things short term. Then, like a week ago, she described how it felt and asked me if that is what it’s like for me all the time. She said she finally understands what it’s like and has been extra supportive on my hard days.

    The fourth time, I was listening. My auditory processing disorder kicked in and it took a good seven seconds for my brain to comprehend what you just said. So I looked at you and said, “What”, as if I didn’t hear you. But then, about a third of the way through you repeating yourself a fifth time, My brain finally caught up and I understood what you said the fourth time.
