one time the bus driver discovered my passed out ass once the bus was all the way back at the depot, and they kindly had someone drive me directly home in a company truck

Yeah. It's definitely the time dilation that occurs when you start to get ready and how the act of actually doing something starts to allow you to get distracted during that time.

"Wow, I'm getting ready already. I can definitely take some extra time to trim my fingernails. They're looking long."

And then it's fucking over once you let yourself agree to that.

Is that what's happening to me? I'm not a time traveller?

Much like time dilation in Einsteins theory of relativity. Time is relative and can be measured differently based on ones current velocity through spacetime. So, technically we are all "time travelers". We're just experiencing time in our own unique way. For ADHD, it's not just velocity through spacetime, but also how our brains perceive that time. That is my theory of ADHD based time dilation anyway.

I like it. Maybe why Einstein's theory of relativity grabbed my attention so firmly as a child.
