Same here. A thing common for ADHDers - executive dysfunction. Where you are supposed to do a thing and just lack the motivation to get started
that’s because this is executive dysfunction and not procrastination. procrastination is putting something off because you don’t wanna do it. executive dysfunction is like, your brain and body just cannot seem to work together even if it’s something you WANT to do you’re still frozen. it’s hard for ppl to understand we don’t only get like this with stuff we don’t want to do. sometimes i can “procrastinate” watching TV or something lmaooo
THIS IS SO TRUE your posts put feelings into words that i never knew how to attach words to. like sometimes i actually finally HAVE the motivation and WANT to do something and still can’t it’s wild.
