My sister is ADHD as fuck and can’t get anywhere on time. i am also ADHD as fuck, but my anxiety about being late counters it and I mostly arrive on time, well actually 5 minute early everywhere
Early is on time, exactly on time is late, late is unforgivable 😵💫
I showed up late to class once. The professor and I were cool. He was often late as well.
I got chewed out by someone because I was late and I looked like I didn’t care. That was unforgivable.
People really don’t get that we’re already more mad at ourselves about it than any external anger will usually match :/
Yeah… I don’t know if they’d care. Honestly, giving myself slack and accepting this as part of who I am right now has been such a life changer for me. The sad part, though, is it limits opportunites for which I might otherwise be a good fit.
You see, this is where childhood “trauma” helps, I have a vivid memory of being called out for arriving late to school (when i was 6-7) because I didn’t live that far away and so I should easily be able to arrive on time.
So the social anxiety with being judged about being late just overpowers whatever the random shit my brain wants to do in the morning.
That sucks. And that should have been a conversation with your parents.
I’m late almost all the time too Dx however my anxiety has an iron grip on my finances so I will probably never have to deal with overspending and financial ruin.
The problem is that my anxiety has convinced me that homelessness and bankruptcy is right around the corner at all times so I can’t even enjoy the fact that I’m financially stable.
this combo fucks me up constantly
Welcome to my brain. He’s an asshole.
anxiety and ocd that doesn’t have the energy to be fulfilled
If they could at least just pick a lane things would be so much easier.
1/2 - where is 2?
like the emotions movie but all are the sad or mad one.
Edit: inside out is the movie name
A crippling amount, yeah.
