also thinking abt the one post that's like 'how come when people talk abt time blindness they're only ever late? hurr durr why don't time blind people show up EARLY??' i hate it. i AM the sort of time blind adhd person who shows up early

#libra.txt #like yeah some of it's the anxiety #but i WILL be ready for stuff way in advance #if you've ever scheduled a voice chat with me please know that i start getting my computer ready at least twenty minutes early #like if you say 'yeah let's call at 6! :-)' at five i'll tell everyone in the house that i have a voice call please don't bother me #and have my mic ready by 5.30 and then just Wait.#unless something has come up and/or i am Inconvenienced #i'm the time blind person that assumes everything takes way longer than it actually does #(except cooking. i'm really bad at estimating cooking times)#it takes 20-30 minutes to get to most of my appts. most of my appts tell me to arrive 10-20 minutes before my actual appt time #if left to my own volition i would arrive to almost all of my appts half an hour in advance #(which works out well for my surgical oncologist bc for whatever reason he always seems to be running ahead of schedule)#(i'll have an appt for 10.30 and get there at 9.55 [check-in downstairs takes FOREVER] and he'll call me back at 10.05)#unfortunately the rad onc is the opposite. it doesn't matter what time i show up. an hour early. half hour early.#ten minutes before the scheduled time. she is only ever late.#i have waited half an hour in the waiting room and then an hour IN the appt room before seeing her. i know she's very busy but. um. please #anyway. yeah a lot of us with adhd run late (my irl friends are almost always late)#but some of us DO show up early to things #i have shown up to appts two hours early on accident #i can be ready to go in ten minutes flat #(which gets frustrating bc my parents will tell me to get up early and then i sit around for half an hour waiting for them to get ready.#that's a half hour i could have been asleep)#perhaps this makes me sound selfish and lazy. alas. i have chronic insomnia and chronic fatigue. i love to sleep.#would love to wake up well rested one day #libra's oversharing again #< should probably be a main tag at this point
