When Your ADHD Can't Think Straight

You are sitting at your desk and the world feels blurry. You have things to do, but your mind is a wall of static. This feeling is not a lack of willpower. It is a sign that your brain is temporarily overloaded.

What is it?

This state is often called cognitive overload or brain fog. It happens when your brain's internal filing system stops working. Instead of clear thoughts, you get a tangled web of noise.

Signs & Symptoms

A physical feeling of pressure or 'fuzziness' in your head
Staring at a screen without reading the words
Feeling overwhelmed by simple choices like what to eat

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex acts like a CEO. It uses dopamine to prioritize tasks. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels can drop, causing the CEO to go on strike. Your amygdala then senses stress and triggers a freeze response.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

The Five Minute Break

5m

Step away from all screens and close your eyes to rest your brain.

2

The Paper Dump

3m

Write down every single worry or task without trying to organize them.

3

Micro Movement

2m

Do ten jumping jacks or stretch to get blood flowing to your head.

Stop fighting your brain.
