Maybe I'm an asshole, but this was really satisfying

As someone who used to be always late because of my neuro issues that affects the feeling of time, i could wake up 20 mins early, an hour early, I'd still be late. The problem is that i start a task and i don't feel time properly so it slips away a minute here a minute there, even if i try to sit down for a minute either i stare at a clock until it passes or i might miss it cause i don't feel real time passing.

And no, you can't fucking imagine this unless you experienced it. And now that I'm treating my neuro issue with alzheimer meds it's completely gone/different. Life feels different, time feels different. It's like i was previously warping through a different dimension.

So yeah you don't know what issues people have. Maybe she's also depressed or pissed at something in her life and dreads every day and forces herself to make it last minute but last minute usually ends up late. Or the warped time feeling. You never know.

And yes i busted my ass trying to be on time. I could NEVER be on time. Never. Not until i started my med. And when i stop my med i turn into a dimension skipping zombie again. And yes unless you have experienced and felt it its like trying to describe an lsd experience to someone, you can't. You either feel it or believe what you're told by someone who experienced it.

And yes life was hell. And I'm sad that so many people don't realise that many "ticks" people have might be one or the other health issue caused by neuro issues, deficiencies, dysregulated systems etc. You are not helping any one shitting on them like that and not trying to figure out why they have this issue.

Also coincidence or not, i need caffeine not to get depressed. I mean seriously, my neuro issue is connected with dopamine deficiency and caffeine for some reason corrects that very well in combo with my alzheimer drug. Without coffee i become suicidal. Find that funny? I don't. Neuro issues are not fun. And ignorant people like you who think they know better, you are hurting others like me and acting like it's ok for me to suffer because you CAN'T POSSIBLY EVER IMAGINE ANY reason that could explain these things.
