I’d normally ask you (or anyone else reading and relating) whether you are also habitually late, have difficulty organising (things/items, thoughts, life) but I’m moderately sure the answer is yes. The “good” news is you probably have A(D)HD (Good because an adhd diagnosis is generally helpful - you had it but struggled all your life without knowing why, now you know it’s not your fault).

The not so great part is I haven’t figured out how to fix it so I can’t answer that lol (also adhd myself). Meds can hep but only to some extent, though med + therapy + healthy habits might be very effective.

To OP - go to your doc/gp and ask for an adhd evaluation.

(I’m normally very cautious with medical suggestions online but tbh this reads like a classic case of adhd to my moderately-well read self. If any medical professionals/folks who are aware of this field/fellow ADHDers want to chime in/correct me, please do!)

I’d also recommend having a look at some of those 15~18 question online adhd tests, if you’re suddenly relating a lot to some/many of those that’s a decent indicator too.
