Understanding Executive Dysfunction with Anxiety
You know that feeling when you have a list of tasks, but you just cannot move? It feels like you are stuck behind an invisible wall. You are not lazy. Your brain is simply trying to protect you from a stress overload.
What is it?
This is a breakdown in your brain's internal management system. When anxiety joins the mix, your brain treats a simple to-do list like a real danger. You end up stuck in a cycle of wanting to start while feeling too afraid to move.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your Prefrontal Cortex handles your planning and focus. Your Amygdala handles your fear and survival. When you feel overwhelmed, the Amygdala takes over the controls. It treats a simple email or chore like a physical threat. This shuts down your logical brain and makes it impossible to begin.
