Sometimes I feel like the only person with ADHD that isn’t late to anything because I can’t stop thinking about the appointment or whatever so the whole day before that point is just spent being ready and not doing anything else.
Having a mid-to-late afternoon thing is just an entire day, ruined.
My spouse cannot understand why I can’t make plans earlier in the day when I already have something scheduled. But they don’t have the problem where if they let something else have their attention for even a short time, all of a sudden it’s bedtime and they completely forget about the appointment.
It’s also a struggle for me with getting ready in the morning. I have to try and find the sweet spot where I’m ready a little early but not so early I decide I have time to do something else and then I’m late.
