In moments like these, don’t think, just do. Think about what you want to do and then stop thinking altogether and start going to do what you want to do just repeating “don’t think just do” to yourself the whole time you are walking to do what it is. Don’t think about anything while you are walking to do said thing. If your brain says stop, do not listen to that shit. You already did all the thinking before you started walking. Don’t start thinking again until you have already started doing said thing. This shit works for me at least

Not a cure just a strategy I found useful that might help someone. I’ll quit trying to help people

My point is that executive dysfunction is the literal inability to do what you're describing (don't think, just do).

ADHD is a neurological disorder. Executive dysfunction is a primary symptom of said disorder.

Your "help" is the same as telling a depressed person to just cheer up, or someone with anxiety to stop worrying so much.

I have adhd and I know what it is and what it feels like. That works for me. Maybe it doesnt work for you. Maybe you just want to be unhappy idk. Either way good luck brother
