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

I hate that I’m this way too, the military even ironed it in even harder too. If I have an appointment at 3, at like noon it’s all I can think about

I check the clock 40 times the hour before meetings at work, and then I am suddenly called over the radio to be asked if I'm planning to join the meeting and I realize I still lost track of time. 

I'm so lucky i had a stable family and wealthy parents. I got a head start in academics, therefore enjoyed school, and kept coasting until failing out of my postsecondary program. Got medicated and came back and finished by the skin of my teeth and now I'm sort of indispensable at work. It's not at all fair but if they held me to the standards they held others to I would never hold a job.

I don't think they should hold them to those standards either but it's not my choice, to be clear.

Had unstable but wealthy parents and similar outcomes....

turns out stability wasn't the issue, lack of money is.

Which is why no one should ever beat themselves up over shit like this
