Everything you wrote in this article screamed “that’s me!” I am chronically clumsy, disorganised, doing something at 100 miles per hour or paralysed by indecision and if there were a gold medal for procrastination, I’d be on the team and possibly a potential winner. My credit card has just changed from one bank to another and I need a new app. I’ve tried to sort it out but have completely failed so whenever I think about it now, it triggers my fight or flight response and I feel trapped. I do have a proper diagnosis of ADHD now so a lot of things make more sense now, but, even with medication, my ADHD brain still doesn’t work as I’d like it to.
I think we must be neurobiological twins! Is that a word? Who cares. I see myself in every single point you made. I have decided it’s time to get tested by my neurologist for this. I am 75 and I think it’s high time I got the right medication! 💕
Wow, thank you for sharing this. I had a concussion in 2016 and I can relate to much of what you say. This is really helpful. So often I feel lazy but my brain often just will not get into gear enough to do what I want to do. I also get anxiety starting reasonably simple and straightforward tasks. I've never heard anyone say this before. Your post makes me feel not so alone and gives me hope.
