Finding Your ADHD Task Paralysis Solution
You are sitting there. You know exactly what you need to do. But your body simply will not move. It feels like an invisible wall is standing in your way. This is not a lack of willpower. Your brain is stuck in a high pressure loop.
What is it?
Task paralysis happens when your brain is flooded with too much information. It cannot decide where to start. This leads to a total shutdown of your ability to take action.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The Science Bit involves your prefrontal cortex. This is the part of your brain that handles planning. In people with ADHD, this area has lower levels of dopamine. When a task feels big, your amygdala reacts. This is your brain's alarm system. It treats a long to-do list like a physical threat. Your brain chooses to 'freeze' to protect you from the stress.
