Understanding ADHD Thought Spirals
ADHD thought spirals can manifest differently than they do for neurotypical individuals, largely due to the impulsive nature of ADHD brains. When faced with intense emotions, ADHD individuals often lack the pause necessary to evaluate their reactions, leading to immediate and often regrettable responses. The heightened activity in their minds resembles having numerous browser tabs open, causing difficulty in organizing and prioritizing thoughts, which can be exhausting. This chaotic mental state frequently leads to impulsive actions that divert attention from core problems, instead of facilitating constructive solutions.
