People with ADHD tend to have time blindness.. Which means we dont tend to have a good grasp at how long things take.

Now this really fucks us up cause we end up being unable to start doing things cause we think it’ll take a long time only for it to take a very short time when we actually do it.

Now obviously if someone says ten minutes, we know what it means numerically. But what we don’t easily grasp is what can be done in those ten minutes.

My friends are coming over in ten minutes? I can easily clean up the house and change before then…… Wait, theyre already here? How’s that possible?!

Op I like you cuz you make me feel less shitty about my shortcomings. It’s not just me being shitty! Amazing! It’s a legit thing! Which I still need to deal with and stuff but at least it’s like, not just cuz I’m a terrible person!

A lot of what we are made to believe are our shortcomings are caused by factors outside of our control. We can learn to control them to a point but learning to recognize them as not completely our fault is incredibly freeing.

So apparently along with polycystic ovary syndrome I might have endometriosis. Like I had an ultrasound to check for stuff in my abdomen a year or 2 ago and there was no endometriosis. But now I might have it. So that’s fun.

Today I worked extra long. Including commute time, I was on a train at 6:39AM and now at 7:23PM, I’m hoping that I can make a 7:45 train to get home after 8, so I don’t have to wait for an 8:45 train. I’m a part time babysitter/nanny so my day is a lot of stooping, picking up, carrying, chasing, squatting, stairs, and some days I get body slammed by a toddler. The mom had a meeting after work today so I worked an hour and some longer than usual. Im trying to remember stuff from PT but I don’t think I have the energy to do any of it. I hurt all over and tomorrow it starts again.

Is it sad that now I’m in bed, what I’m most upset about is that I didn’t get to animate at all tonight and probly won’t be able to tomorrow either?

Apparently not only can I not seriously invest in more than one interest at a time, but my physical exhaustion and pain also can’t compete with my hyperfixation and need to hyperfocus on said interest???
