After reading the thread on ADHD (which I thought was eloquently written and a credit to its author) it occurred to me that embarking towards the path of subhood I may well have my own challenge.

In my early 20s I had a virus called Encephilitus. I was in a coma for 6 weeks and it took me around 2 years before I was fully independent again. I would not say fully recovered as it has taken its toll in a few ways. I have an awfully bad short term memory and if over loaded with multi-tasking I get mental fatigue (basically exhaustion) which means a task can take a while to complete.

With these qualities in mind, I guess i'm going to have some stumbling blocks, which may not be desirable to a potential dom. Should I reconsider my involvement and just enjoy the friends I have made that have become dear to me, or is there a level of tolerants that will allow for my problems?

This is a sincere question and I would appreciate any honest input.

They are stumbling blocks, but just that. It may turn a few away but I haven't seen that happen on this site. I listed my problems at the top of my profile, I have gotten a lot of questions but no negativity. In fact I have received incredible support from nearly everyone! Not just support but also ways of coping and different medical approaches. It astonished me, writing my 'stuff' was very very hard & I was scared of the reaction. Silly me. The reaction was 99% good.
Worry less, enjoy more.

don't let your poor memory deter you from finding happiness. i also have a problem with my memory. according to my doctor it is caused by many many years of chronic stress. as she explains it, my brain is "tired" and simply refuses to make the connections it once did. i am submissive and hope to one day find my Dominant. i have been in only one D/s relationship to date which lasted almost five years. my Dominant in that relationship was aware of my limitations and was willing to be very lenient concerning matters to do with memory or my lack there of, especially when He came to realize that i never ever used this limitation as an excuse. so whatever you do, don't give up. there are plenty of intelligent and caring Dominants out there, it's just a matter of our finding them!
