Understanding Overwhelm and Procrastination

Overwhelm and procrastination are common challenges faced by individuals with ADHD. Overwhelm is characterized by feeling that tasks exceed available time, energy, and resources, leading to consequences like procrastination. Stories we attach to overwhelm can deepen the experience, causing self-doubt and spiraling emotions. Procrastination, not listed as an ADHD symptom, results from inattention and can signal deeper issues like lack of interest, overwhelm, or poor executive functions. Strategies like body doubling or external reminders can assist in managing these challenges and preventing shame spirals.
