I used to be always on time, and would be annoyed having to wait for others.
Now, I am always late for everything, and am annoyed with myself about it!
I don't know why I'm always late now--is it from the depression? From the meds? I don't know. Over time, I've developed more ADD-like symptoms. Perhaps from the meds. Who knows. Everything takes me so much longer to do now than it used to. I can't gauge time very well anymore.
So, lately, I've been trying to channel my anger at myself for being late into trying to prevent myself from being late. I'll say, "OK, you hate being late, you hate this feeling of rushing and getting all tense about being late. So why don't you make a point of starting out earlier, of planning how to be able to get out the door on time, etc."
