Weirdly enough, when i have these paralysis & realise im in it, my brain tries to say “maybe you’re not in adhd paralysis, maybe you’re just lazy & purposefully dont stand up & could just get up, you just dont want to” 😂😂 and then i get stuck in the loop

You guys have helped me a lot but this type of stuff still doesn’t work for me. I don’t know what’s going on. I just can’t get started anymore. I mean I know I have ADHD on medication for it. I don’t think it’s working though.

Wildly enough I healed my trauma and rewired my belief systems and my brain doesn’t yell mean things at me anymore. So now I just call it the loading phase. Once it’s all done loading I get up and do all the things without shame. It’s much much better.

Yeah this is something that I found medication helped with for a bit but it didn’t last. Have you tried doing something to give your brain a boost before you try starting the task? Eg one thing I’ve found that can get me out of paralysis is playing dance remixes of pop. Once the music starts I feel like I can actually get up then I start to do whatever I need to (this is usually for cleaning/tidying). Task pairing is another thing, so rather that setting yourself a reward for completing a task, you pair your task with something else that your brain finds interesting. Mine is usually podcasts on you tube, gives my brain interest when I need to do a task that’s got me paralysed.

I also recommend if you struggle with what chore to start with. Make a list and roll a dice. I like to clean in a specific order like; no point in sweeping the floor if the counters are dirty, and no point in doing the kitchen counters if the fridge is full etc. rolling for the chore helps me reduce that and actually start the chore. I don’t use your app often but when I do I start with rolling for the chore.

To be honest, I lay on my bed and I know I need to tidy it, but I can’t be bothered sometimes, but I do it eventually

feeling particularly called out as I lay here on my bed with no pillows or blankets yet (probably the easiest tasks of bed-making too) 👀

I already know all the steps. My brain generates the list of steps in half a second. Even for rare tasks or ones I’ve never done. There is the overwhelm of all the steps, and how pointless it is because nothing really changes when done. I KNOW the benefits of cleaning. That’s not the point.

This is why I built an app for this! It gives you one tiny step and breaks it down if it's too hard until it's so easy you actually start
