Nah too much pressure. Just call it off. We’d do it the other day whatever it is.
Then your still late
Nah, 20 minutes early. Unless I’m with someone else then 10 minutes late.
All the while, you have enough self-awareness to scream “WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!”
SO WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!
I had a conflict with work and needed to leave by 1PM to get home by 2, so I could be at the thing 10 minutes from my house at 2:30…
By the time I sat down at my desk, my brain wouldn’t let go of the fact that I needed to leave soon, so I shouldn’t get involved in anything that will take too long.
Also my brain: things that take too long means anything that will take more than 20 minutes.
… It’s 9AM. I have FOUR HOURS before I need to leave, but if a task will take a half hour, well, screw it, I gotta go soon 🤪 better put it off until tomorrow! 🤡
This is EXACTLY how my brain operates.
So true, I struggle with this a lot. I try to never plan anything around 11 am, because of this. At 9 am it feels like it’s 10:30 which means I am almost too late so I get paralyzed
My psychiatrist booked me after 7PM on a Sunday 🙃
Hmm I feel this way sometimes but never considered having ADHD. Are there mild versions of ADHD?
It could be time blindness and executive dysfunction not connected to ADHD. There isn’t really a mild version of ADHD, but some people get it worse than others. There are also subtypes, like hyperactive or inattentive, and each acts differently. You can always do an online screening to see if your symptoms are in the ballpark.
That test seemed fine until…
What does my gender have to do with it?!
And can’t they just put the answer up? Not giving my email. Test results DENIED
Gender can affect how it presents. For example it seems easier to catch in males vs females. Females tend to be more often inattentive vs hyperactive, though personally I keep scoring combined type. It’s different from person to person. Most of these screenings ask for email. I’ve probably taken every screening test on the damned internet at this point and most ask for emails. Make a fake email if you have too. I have my spam emails for stuff like this so my main email doesn’t get bogged down.
