Why Your ADHD Brain Can't Follow Instructions
It is frustrating to stare at a list and feel nothing. You want to start, but the steps feel like a tangled knot. This is a common part of the ADHD experience. You are not lazy, and you are not broken.
What is it?
This is often a struggle with working memory. Think of it like a small desk. If the desk is too crowded, new papers fall off the edge. Your brain simply runs out of desk space for all those steps.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex needs dopamine to hold onto information. When levels are low, your working memory becomes leaky. The amygdala might also spark a freeze response if the instructions look too big. This makes it feel impossible to move forward.
