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 (self.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?

It does though, I don't take it as necessarily bad unless of course I don't have an exact timeline for said thing. I hate when given vague statements like "sometime this afternoon" or "in a little while." If I have a precise time for it, it stays in my mind just enough that I don't forget. But if I don't have any timeline, it ruins my entire day. I can't plan around it, and I dread starting something else only to be interrupted midway through.
