Right now, you might feel like you are stuck in mud. You know what you need to do, but your body won't move. This is hard, but it is not your fault.

Free to use. No credit card required.

What is it?

It is like having a car with a broken starter motor. Your brain wants to go, but the engine won't turn over. You aren't lazy; you are just overloaded.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a screen or a mess without moving

Feeling heavy or physically unable to get up

Scrolling on your phone while feeling guilty

A brain that feels 'noisy' and loud

Why does this happen?

Your brain's 'starter motor' is jammed because there are too many choices. When the brain sees a big project, it gets scared and hits the brakes to stay safe.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:

Stop the mean self-talk

Take a deep breath and tell yourself that being stuck is okay.

Pick a 'micro-task'

Find one thing that takes ten seconds, like picking up a single sock.

The 5-second countdown

Count down from five and stand up on one.

Stop fighting your brain.

HealUp turns these concepts into a tool that actually works for your ADHD brain. No fluff, just execution.
