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!)

I'm a 2-stop max kinda gal. And even the 2nd stop is like pulling teeth, I'll try to give myself any excuse to not do it. My teen wants to go from store to store shopping and I have to shoot their dream out of the sky and force them to pick two and then maybe we'll try again next month 😂
