ADHD Paralysis Explained #shorts #adhd

[johnrobia]

The least realistic part of this scenario is getting an apology after explaining how it feels

[empanada]

The irony is that I can totally bring myself to touch a scorching hot burner, but I can't bring myself to do my reading assignments

[spulcipher]

"I'll give you $100-"
*aggressive sizzling*

[thawhizard]

I would literally have an easier time touching a hot surface than cleaning my house.

It sometimes feels like I'm trapped in my body because I can't make myself do the things I need to do.

Im clinically diagnosed ADHD and I've never thought of it like this, but its 101% spot on. Like sometimes i rationalize it with procrastination but otherwise its just "preform the basic task that will take five seconds and solve a great deal of problems for you immediately" and my brain is like "no. I dont want to."

[stevrgrs]

I wouldn’t use this as an example. It makes adhd sound even more like an excuse. You don’t put your hand on the burner because IT HURTS and it will HARM YOU.

ADHD would be more akin to telling someone to go to the gym when they are tired. It’s something they know will benefit them, is completely doable, but feels almost impossible to get up and do :)

I was stuck in adhd paralysis and this freed me😭😭

You see, the worst part about ADHD paralysis is there's no external indicator that you are trying.
I will be having a mental war with myself trying to get up to do my homework and on the outside I'm just scrolling YouTube or something. You wouldn't know, so you would just think I was being lazy

“Get up. You need to get up and do the thing. Come on get up. Please get up. Please?” -me to myself anytime I need to do a chore.

I showed it to my mom and now she understands how I feel when I can't get up.

I am so happy to have found videos like these because until I even considered that I might have ADHD(waiting to get an appointment for a diagnosis) I just thought I was failing at being a basic human. It’s the worst feeling ever.

Now I use videos like these to help explain to my mom what I’m experiencing

[ForeverD]

I wish I could send this to literally every person I know because no one understands

Edit: thanks for the likes and I want to say that if you guys are gonna argue about this at least do your research because some of you guys don’t even know what ADHD stands for

[smallpotato]

i am replaying the last part cause an apology feels really nice to hear

[jomk]

Someone give this woman a cape! You're saving lives my friend 💗

[TheHero]

As someone with ADHD I can say that’s a good explanation

[beb]

anyone else be laying on the couch and you need to get up and you’re just like “okay what if i get up NOW” and just keep doing that but never actually get up

[dilaisy_loone]

I literally go for like an hour saying to myself “you can do it, you can do it”

[IanLoflin]

For a person that has ADHD this is accurate

[Pickensprodz-qg]

This is way too relatable. I have the worst ADHD in my family.
