Any obligation that I have, even one that I'm literally looking forward to, usually dominates in my mind as an obligation first and foremost

3 years ago by _number8_ to c/autism

it's very irritating. does anyone else experience this? it's just looming for a week ahead of time, i'm thinking about it every day, it's practically a pall upon my shoulders that i'm going fucking apple picking with family tomorrow

sick of it. i assume this is a manifestation of the schedule interruption thing?

I used to have this problem until I realized that pretty much none of the obligations are really obligatory. Now I have a new, different set of problems instead.
