One of the things I really struggle with is concentrating on what people are saying to me. Very very common for me not to hear it and have to make people repeat themselves because my mind was somewhere else. My poor son knows this all too well. Actually makes me feel bad to struggle with this because it makes people feel like I don't care what they have to say. It's not true. I just can't concentrate on the words.
Depression does make my concentration worse, too. Yes, auditory stuff is hard for me, I am always struggling too and then forgetting what people told me. I do feel bad, too.
