When Your ADHD Brain Feels Like It Can't Talk Properly
It is incredibly frustrating when your brain moves ten times faster than your mouth. You have brilliant ideas, but they get stuck behind an invisible wall. You are not losing your mind. You are just experiencing a common part of the ADHD operating system.
What is it?
This feeling is often caused by a lag in word retrieval and working memory. It happens when your brain cannot find the right 'file' for a word while you are actively speaking.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The 'Science Bit' involves your Prefrontal Cortex. This area manages working memory, which is like a mental scratchpad. In ADHD brains, dopamine levels can fluctuate. This makes the scratchpad slippery, so words slide off before you can speak them. If you feel stressed, your amygdala also kicks in and creates a mini freeze response.
The Action Plan
The Strategic Pause
Stop talking for three seconds to let your working memory catch up.
Visual Mapping
Try to picture the object or idea in your mind rather than the word.
Pressure Release
Acknowledge the glitch out loud to lower your social anxiety.
