ADHD

ADHD causes a dysfunctional frontal-cortex; the part of our brains where “outside” information goes to be processed and is then acted upon. as information enters, it needs to be sorted and processed so that attention can be given to the most important information.

people with ADHD suffer from the inability to sort information easily, so the information from the outside floods your mind and you cant focus on anything because your brain doesnt know what to do with the information. your brain doesnt know how to make decisions.

when the brain cant sort tasks and make decisions, this can lead to issues like procrastination and communication problems. this causes overwhelm, worry, anxiety, and makes it hard to get even simple tasks done, which can cause even more stress and overwhelm.

just breathe. take your time. youre not lazy. recognize that your brain doesnt work like other people, and thats okay. others may get impatient but thats theyre problem, not yours. make lists, write stuff down. slow down. youll get there at your own pace.
