Hi, I’m Erik. I likely have SCT/CDS (no formal diagnosis yet).

Since childhood I’ve had constant brain fog, severe distractibility, and poor working memory. It often feels like thoughts and information don’t fully “stick.” I also mix up words when speaking, which is frustrating and makes communication difficult.

In conversations, I struggle to stay mentally present unless I actively drive the interaction, which sometimes makes me seem cold or distant.

From what I’ve read, information about SCT/CDS and treatment outcomes seems very mixed.

My question:

For those with experience — have you actually found anything that significantly improves this, or is it still mostly experimental/uncertain in practice?

Thanks for any honest answers.
