Executive Dysfunction Self Help: Breaking the Invisible Wall
You are not lazy. You are not broken. You are likely sitting there wanting to do the thing, but your brain is not sending the 'go' signal. It feels like your internal engine is idling while you press the gas.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in your brain's command center. It makes it hard to plan, start, or switch between tasks. It is like an orchestra where the conductor has gone on a coffee break.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The Prefrontal Cortex is the 'CEO' of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this area gets less dopamine. This makes it hard to judge which task is most important. When you feel overwhelmed, your amygdala triggers a 'freeze' response. Your brain treats a simple laundry pile like a literal predator.
