▲ 3 r/ADHD

I'm so sad about it. I pay so much ADHD tax.

The thing is like this: I was working on Caltrain on the way from San Francisco to South Bay. I was so focused on my laptop because I'm starting my new company (and I have some side quests as well). I put my suitcase under my desk because I went camping last weekend and had also stayed in San Francisco for a few days.

When the train arrived at Sunnyvale, I remembered to take my laptop and my bag. I actually checked for my laptop, but then I forgot about my suitcase. I realized I didn't bring it immediately after I got off the train. I took an Uber to San Jose, which is the end of the line, as soon as possible, but I still couldn't catch it.

When I arrived, the train was already locked. People told me I could only try the lost and found. Since I was only two stations away from the end station, I thought I would be able to find my suitcase, but I can't. It's gone.

It had so many expensive and valuable things that matter a lot to me:

  1. My favorite Zimmermann dress, which is more than $1,000

  2. My best camera (with all the pictures inside), which is more than $2,000

  3. My swimming gear, $3,00

  4. My beauty laser device, which is $500

  5. All my ADHD pills, my journals, and my books

I'm so sad I pay so much ADHD tax. In the past, I almost lost my passport, keys, and laptop in an Uber, but luckily the driver returned them to me. After that, I always reminded myself to bring my laptop, passport, and keys. But this time, I realized that I can only hold one thing in my mind, not multiple things.

Maybe it's a good lesson learned for ADHD people. We probably can only do one thing at a time.
