I've got ADHD and y'know that thing where if you have an appointment or you're expecting a phone call so you just kinda wait around until that time? Like you can't get stuck in to anything else because you're focused on that specific appointment etc.

Yeah

Anyway, I called my dad this morning just to chat as I always do on Sunday morning. He didn't pick up or respond so now I'm just waiting around for a call or something. Like I have other shit I want to do today but I don't want to be at the store when he calls because then I'll call back later and he'll be busy again and it'll be worse lmao

Anyway...just wasting my free day sitting around for a call that may never come instead of enjoying it. Whatch'all up to?

      Seconded. I swear one of the strongest rules I’ve seen in reality is that giving up is the only way many things you are waiting for will finally happen.

    This is very real. I feel like a ninja waiting for an invader who will arrive shortly when in reality I am unable to pick my dirty socks up because my washing machine will finish in 51 minutes and I need to be ready.

    Waiting mode? Most of the time I just miserably do stuff unable to escape the misery of being conscious of time and anxious I will miss or waste something due to time blindness. Don’t exactly recommend.
