What is it?
Task paralysis is a state of mental overload. It happens when your brain sees a to-do list as a threat. Instead of acting, your system shuts down to save energy.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex handles planning and focus. It needs dopamine to start a task. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often low. Your amygdala, the brain's alarm system, sees a big task and triggers a freeze response. You aren't lazy. Your brain is literally stuck in a survival loop.
