I stubbed my toe yesterday and was quickly distracted. I pretty much forgot I was in pain. That night I was walking and my toe hurt. I thought, why does my toe hurt? Completely forgetting that I injured it. Woke up this morning and it was purple and swollen and all of a sudden a remembered stubbing my toe. Being distracted from pain might be the first positive thing for my ADHD
