Your list keeps growing, but you have trouble sitting down to do it. You are so distracted that you start things and have trouble finishing. You are not lazy. Your brain needs something different.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
You may feel...
Knowing exactly what you need to do but struggling to get started
Constantly putting things off until the last minute, even when you care about getting them done
Overwhelmed by tasks, responsibilities, or decisions that seem like they should be manageable
Struggling to stay organized, manage time, or keep track of everything in your head
Easily distracted or having difficulty shifting your attention when you need to
Feeling like you're always trying to catch up
Starting things with motivation and enthusiasm but struggling to follow through
Frustrated because you know you're capable of more
Experiencing strong emotions or reacting quickly and then wondering why it felt so difficult to slow down
Feeling ashamed, frustrated, or discouraged after years of being told you're not trying hard enough or your are just “lazy”
Finding that strategies that work for other people don't seem to work for you
