What ADHD paralysis feels like #shorts #adhd

[SillySyrup]

"If I'm going to [___] I should [___]" is something said many, many, many times in my head

[michaelbrain]

This was basically me all day today. Sometimes when I’m paralyzed like this, I start to question my purpose of why I exist in the first place.

[StonedtotheBones]

It is so hard to explain to ppl what "getting stuck" means. Usually this, but with a hearty amount of guilt and anxiety too.

[tonyrusso]

"Paralysis by analysis". Done that all my life. It's a terrible feeling.

[janellehaines]

This is extraordinarily relatable. This is how having to do 1 thing can turn into having to do 17 things. And when there are 17 things to do there is no end in sight.

"I should shower but I should do exercise first so I dont hav to shower twice." This quote is my soul mate 😂

[Shade.]

The word "should" is the bane of my existence 😢

[valchrist]

This is literally my thought process on my off days. Then I end up bed rotting the whole day without eating, drinking, or moving.

"If you give a mouse a cookie" is a great book to represent this to kids

[Lisa.B.]

Meanwhile, there's the heckler in the background of the brain yelling "OMG You're so freaking lazy!", along with another voice screaming in frustration, "Do SOMETHING! ANYTHING other than NOTHING!"

[lenoreandreas]

This is incredibly accurate. I’ve gone a week or more without a shower because of this.

The super power that makes me great at planning ahead is the same kryptonite that prevents me from making plans

[Skorpionion]

Videos like this have helped my self worth so mf much. I just thought i was lazy and broken. Now i see im just normal for adhd

[bonessasan]

Yup.

On the worst days it feels like I'm straight jacketed, but internally. "Feeling claustrophobic in one's own skin" is not an enjoyable feeling at all.

[EjaBe]

Wow—you have described me! I need to / must get everything I need to do in the right order so I am EFFICIENT !! Takes a lot of thinking, so I’m not procrastinating — just organizing what I need to do before I start to do anything!!

[malone]

The loop of it all is so accurate. And the loop of the edit is spot on.

[jdragon]

You continue to show me I'm not completely crazy.. thank you😊

[Graeaeae]

just gets heavier, becomes overwhelming, exhausting. Baby steps are all I can do and most of the times it works but there are those days every month

[xavi]

I thought everyone one have monologue like this non stop in their brains

[Molly]

Not to mention the 50 mini tasks inside each of those tasks.
