You really have to THINK about time and space as an ADHD'er or it does happen without you. I always say I stopped time at 16 years old in my head! I look in the mirror and wonder what happened sometimes and still marvel at the fact I have this adult life with kids! You get it and you said it. That is my issue!

I still think I have the power to slow time down....if I pray hard enough, while rushing to get to the next appointment, I miscalulated the time for. "This too shall pass", is a great thought to have when it's time to sit through time, attending to some task I'd rather not. Indeed it does pass and the memory of what I didn't want to do is a blur.
