ADHD Paralysis

If this happens to you, try picking the closest thing to you that needs to get done, set a 5m timer, and do as much as you can! Reward yourself and repeat!

If you think you have ADHD, I made a worksheet to help determine if you meet the diagnostic criteria and talk to your doctor about it!

ADHD Paralysis = Having a bunch of things on your list that you want to get done but feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start so you sit in mental purgatory.

ADHD Paralysis should be a final boss in a video game just so we can show whos boss 😂

[Lia_]

It’s like being busy but not doing anything 😭😭

[kurosora]

This is so real 😭 The feeling of REALLY wanting to get something done, and you keep telling yourself you will do it, but something is stopping you from it. It can sometimes go on for weeks and months.. and then the feelings of guilt follow and everyone around you be telling you to “just get it done” and “what are you waiting for”, but they can’t understand that you just physically and mentally /can’t/. It’s such a struggle 🥲

Fellow adhder here. Since so many of you guys want to just make accusing comments on here without doing research, I’ll just help you skip that part. ADHD paralysis is when you have the motivation to be productive, and you are fully prepared to get it all done… But you have a mental blocker that takes away your mental capability to process the task and make your body get up and do it. So, you end up sitting for HOURS (in my case) and do something your mind can process, like scrolling on YouTube shorts. Like what I’m doing right now. My adhd paralysis is literally why I read these comments. HOWEVER, laziness, is when you have full capability to do whatever you need to get done but have no desire or willpower to do it. So you scroll on YouTube shorts for hours by CHOICE. Think of sleep paralysis. You know you have full capability to move, but your brains ability to tell your body to move is blocked off because that part of your brain is asleep. ITS A REAL STRUGGLE Thank you and goodnight.

Your short videos are astounding. My daughter and I both deal with everything you described. You move, dress, talk, and mannerism exactly the same. Thanks for sharing these

[ashwelch-iggf]

Ive been planning to plant my plants for a month now 😂

[arcticfrog]

Bro literally me rn scrolling through YouTube 😭

[rfvcr]

I do this every day I go to bed with plans and then I wake up "oh hey I got 10 hours before I go to work, I don't have time to do anything"

[LogicalCrento]

ADHD paralysis has happened to me once and trust me when i tell you THE FEELINGS NOT FUN i was so stressed because i could not even multi task which is something i do a lot

[Dragonhelm]

Literally me all the time i get it randomly like i get adhd paralysis while doing the thing i needed to do 🙃

[kittyroxs]

Ok this my life. I think if we can gang up together though we can take that little paralysis so and so.

[soiiec]

I relate to alot of stuff on your channel about adhd even thought i havent been diagnosed or tested for it.. should i be worried 😨😨

[clintonmcbeth]

My father used to always call this paralyzation through analysis. When the project gets big I always gets stuck in a Adhd paralysis

[Liftedwoodworking]

This happens to me whenever I am trying to start the next step of any wood working project. I’ve found it helpful to write out my plan and check items off so that I can see the progress of completing each task. If I could only find the MF’in tape measure I just hand in my hand 5 mins ago.

[cheapshotfishing]

Me all week, now I've got 12 assignments to do by midnight tonight

[VaeyaKaebrielle]

I know this wasn't meant to solicit sadness. But..near tears..this happens to me constantly, especially with things that are really hard or scary or unknown. It feels like no one understands..I'm undiagnosed so untreated..but have severe ADHD. I wish the stigma was gone and that there was way more free help and healthcare providers

[theblissgarden]

i am addicted to making to do lists then rarely get through them🤦🏾‍♀️

[OneOfThoseMaddies]

Literally me when I say I’m gonna fold my laundry😭

[rayne]

Idk if I'm the only one, but I've found with having ADHD that me having like a pet or something I can't neglect helps with this a lot. Even though I told myself I was going to clean my fishes tank two different days now and haven't cause I forgot, but we don't talk about that.
