Is this really an ADHD thing? I’m not diagnosed but I do this constantly. Visiting parents in the evening? Day gone. Errands that will only take me an hour? Day is gone so I guess I’ll play video games or something I can hop out of at any time since my day is over.
For me at least, it’s that I can’t do anything of substance until the scheduled thing is over. I can’t even start the video game while waiting because I’m worried I’ll get too engrossed and forget about the thing I have to go to later.
I think you summed up how i am in ways i never could
I’ve been waiting all day today and yesterday for an ikea order that is allegedly arriving yesterday. I want/need to do other things, but I can’t help but curl up in bed paralysed stuck in waiting mode.
Actually starting to lose my sanity over here.
