Social Life Can you do two "events" in a day?

By events I mean like... go grocery shopping AND have a get together with friends or family later. Have a doctor appt in the afternoon AND have to go to the store later or have a concert later. Do you do this and not feel like you're on the verge of a mental breakdown? Physically and mentally exhausted?

If so.... HOW???

ETA: Well, by the response, I have to say... You get me... you really get me! 🥲 haha. I posted because I have a (hobby related) errand I need to get done but both Sat&Sun already have events planned and it's stressing me out. Its not like running down the street to the corner store, the errand will take like 3 hours out of my day and I just don't know that I can do it along with the other plans.

Many have stated being medicated helps them. Im genuinely happy that it helps you but it does not help me, haha. I am medicated, I can focus on work or hobby for the better part of 5 hours and be flabbergasted at the time that has passed. It does not help with introvert hangover (which, much like a regular hangover, it lasts longer and is much worse the older I get!)

Tomorrow I’m bringing the cat to the vet, dropping my son and husband off for my son’s guitar lesson, getting a facial and then going to a school event for my 7 year old and while I’m much better at doing these things now that I’m medicated, I’m very anxious about it.
