What Is ADHD and Why Do I Have It?

It feels like there is an invisible wall between you and the things you want to do. You want to move, but your brain just says no. This is not a character flaw. You are simply running on a different operating system.

What is it?

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a neurodevelopmental condition. This means your brain grew and wired itself differently from a typical brain. It is not a lack of willpower. It is a difference in how your brain manages its own resources.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling physically stuck when you have a big task to start.
Losing your keys or phone right after you just had them.
A constant feeling of restlessness or an inner buzz.
Getting deeply lost in a hobby while ignoring everything else.

Why does this happen?

The science bit focuses on the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of the brain that acts like a CEO. In an ADHD brain, the chemical dopamine does not move as efficiently. Dopamine is what helps us feel motivation and reward. Because of this, your brain has to work much harder to focus on things that are not instantly exciting.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

Practice Self Compassion

5m

Acknowledge that your brain is wired differently and you are doing your best.

2

Identify Your Peaks

10m

Notice what time of day you naturally have the most energy.

3

Small Win
