ADHD decision paralysis 🥲 #shorts #adhd

[Anniekitty]

Same. And girl starving is such an easy option sometimes 😂😂 I got wayyy to used to it

[The_Stark_Contrast]

Literally me right now. Diagnosed at 30 years old blew my mind, also saddened me tremendously. Dealt with so much internal as well as external shaming for so long. Yes I can run an entire music event but scheduling that dentist appointment I forget about for two months. Never ending.

Brain now: I'd rather starve than decide now. Brain later: eat everything in sight!

[ariverdreaming]

Not to mention the endless battle to keep the kitchen clean enough to cook 😅

Omg same! It’s crazy when you come to realization that little things we do is directly linked to ADHD. I knew I was different than most people but I could never really link the dots like I’m doing now. It’s really refreshing to hear I’m not alone! This girl really gets it and she puts it in such a humorous way. Love it!

Typically during hyper-fixation where I feel like I don't deserve it.

[fosscruz]

Before your channel I thought I was crazy. Now I know that I am. 😂😂

[aaryananand]

I’m stuck deciding between starting my homework or packing for my trip both of which have to be done within the next couple hours.
I’ve been in bed for the last 3 hours…

[amyd]

You’re helping me so much as a mom of a 9 year old with ADHD! All I want is to be compassionate and understanding of the struggle!!

[jenniferBeckDarling]

Was diagnosed at age 49...actually a few months ago. Watching you makes everything I do make sense. I have always thought I was strange. Now, I feel like there is a community out there for us!

[paigemurray]

Omg this is probably one of the most frustrating things that come with adhd ❤😭

[Lisa.B.]

It's awful! Since my (late) diagnosis in April '24, I have become keenly aware that once I make a decision, people will sometimes say something like "Are you sure? We could also do x, y, and z..." and it immediately sends me into anxiety mode bc I'm second-guessing myself and start the entire process in my head all over again. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

[PuppyPrincess]

This is why i would rather have all decisions made for me

[Maryann-InCA]

Thank you for putting a voice to my craziness that I wasn’t able to explain to others! Now I just share your videos! ❤

[WickedRich]

There are times that my wonderful husband realizes I’m “stuck” and makes the decision for me. 😂🥰😊😝🤣

[trixi]

Too relatable 😭
And people just don't understand...

[ryankelly]

I've got something that I've learned to do with my ADHD that helps a lot with things like this. I stop thinking about it. Sounds crazy I know, and it took a long time for me to figure out how to do, but it works for me...not with everything, but with small things like this. I don't let my brain think about it, I know how to do this (whatever small thing it is) so I just do it without letting my brain think about it. I'll let my mind wander in any other way it wants to, but I don't think about what I'm doing. Sounds kind of counter intuitive, but it works for me lol.

[geekelly]

For me, my brain instantly goes into a pros/cons list of all options until it gets too overwhelming and then I opt not to eat. It also happens with other decisions too.

[meg]

Psychologists have determined there are a certain number of decisions you can make per day. And on very effective days, i borrow decisions from the next day to get everything done at work. And the next day i will be unable to make very many choices due to decision fatigue. But its a handy superpower that i can borrow tomorrows decisions today when working on a deadline.

[MouthyMama]

You just smacked that nail directly on its head. I've been debating what to eat for so long today that I just said "eff it, I'll be ok if I down this Powerade" & started getting ready for bed. What's crazy is that if I were to actually choose ANYTHING to eat at this point, I'd be instantly nauseous or feel stuffed to the gills & not be able to eat even though two seconds ago the neighbors at the end of the block could probably hear my stomach growling. And even worse - I'll wind up waking up tomorrow with an empty wrapper or container bc I fully ate something I completely consciously forgot I had stashed away in my nightstand or something 100% in my sleep & with no memory of it at all. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
