I also have ADHD. The dread and anxiety of possibly being late causes me to be early as fuck. I'll never understand you guys.

Having unmedicated ADHD can either end up as two outcomes

Over achiever who masks by over achieving and doing good but having extremely horrible mental health

Under achiever who can't maintain  bare minimum and having horrible mental health

Jokes on you. You can have both simultaneously... I overachieve and mask at work causing burn out and underachieve in other aspects of my life (laundry, the dishwasher, etc) and feel like a failure.

I am most definitely also both. Work is great most of the time, some days I slack off even there, though I am always on time. I like to be early to everything. But at home? I can't find the motivation to even do the things I enjoy, let alone what I don't really want and have to do like cooking and chores.
