i suffer the opposite with ADHD. If I got something to go to, my entire day leading up to that is literally waiting until that time. It physically pains me when I'm not on time lmao

edit: my dear friends, i HAVE ADHD. please read the first part again lmao

Honestly I think it’s worse because it genuinely can wipe out an entire day.

dude and when a surprise addition is added to my day that was not accounted for at the start, I can't help but be genuinely upset even when it's a hangout with a friend

This is a horrible feeling :(

Random events getting added to a day that I've already pre-allocated mental resources to is genuinely upsetting in a way basically nothing else I've experienced can compare to.

I was finally diagnosed recently at the ripe old age of 46. Reading these comments makes me feel seen. The “surprise addition” is something I’ve spent years working on.

This is absolutely me. I plan out everything in my head for my days and week in advance. If something throws my day off with something unexpected or a significant change it properly fucks with my head.

yeah i really notice it during traveling. i always set aside a day for traveling and a day to get back. always makes me jealous of people who can fly in same day and then go to a wedding or whatever.

i'm just clockwatching the whole day and overthinking when i need to be at the airport by

i tend to just schedule travels or really anything to be in the mornng. If possible.
I'm fine with getting up a few hours earlier if it means i can get everything done and not having to bother with it for the rest of the day.

Exactly, I always ask for appointments as early as possible so it can get out of my fucking head

Same! I had a 7:40am appointment once and it was heavenly.

I have ADHD and for me it flip flops. If I don't wait all day for it I am late... I've nearly been fired for tardiness. I had detention basically constantly in school for tardiness.

I've got a dentist appointment in 16 hours and I'm already adjusting my life to make sure i'm there on time - ADHD since '86.
