SUADHD paralysis happens when your brain freezes up in the face of tasks, decisions, or overwhelming situations.
It can show up as:
🔶 Task Paralysis – Staring at your to-do list but feeling stuck.
🔶 Choice Paralysis – Too many options? Brain shuts down.
🔶 Mental Overwhelm – So much to do that doing anything feels impossible.
🔶 Perfectionism Paralysis – Waiting for the “perfect” time or way to start.
Next time you feel stuck, try this:
✅ Start with a brain dump - write down all of those thoughts and 'to-do's' swirling around in your head.
✅ Try to identify what's a task versus what's actually a multi-step project.
✅ Choose one of the smallest tasks on the list. What's the smallest possible step you could take to just get started and gain momentum?
✅ Reach out to a friend or family member who might be able to provide support. Can they talk on the phone or FaceTime while you get started?
✅ Celebrate your success! No matter how small or trivial you think it is, give yourself credit for taking action!
ADHD paralysis is NOT laziness!! It’s a real executive function challenge. With the right support, you can move from stuck to taking action!
💜 ADHD Coaching can help you build personalized strategies and address shame around ADHD paralysis.
