Escaping Task Paralysis and Procrastination
You want to get started. You know what you need to do. Yet, you feel stuck in place. It feels like an invisible wall is standing between you and your work. Please know that you are not lazy. Your brain is simply overwhelmed.
What is it?
Task paralysis is a state where your brain feels so overwhelmed by choices or steps that it shuts down. Procrastination in ADHD is often a survival tool. It is a way to avoid the physical discomfort that comes with mental overwhelm.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that handles planning. In an ADHD brain, this area often has lower levels of dopamine. When a task feels too big, your amygdala senses danger. It triggers a freeze response, just like if you saw a predator in the wild.
