ADHD How to Force Yourself to Work Without the Burnout
You are sitting at your desk and the clock is ticking. You know exactly what you need to do, but your body feels like it is made of lead. This is not a lack of willpower. It is a biological glitch that makes you feel stuck.
What is it?
This state is often called executive dysfunction or task paralysis. It is a breakdown in the brain's ability to plan, start, and finish a goal. It feels like trying to drive a car with no gas in the tank.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this area has lower levels of dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical that says a task is worth doing. When the task feels boring or huge, your amygdala reacts with a 'freeze' response. Your brain treats a work deadline like a physical threat.
