If anxiety is a storm, then ADHD paralysis is the moment after — when everything is eerily silent, yet devastating.

It’s my mind running at 300 mph while my body moves at 0.
I can conceptualize an entire research project, outline a novel, diagnose a fictional character’s neurological disorder, analyze an X-Men plotline for sociopolitical relevance…
but I cannot make myself fold my laundry.
There is a cruelty in being brilliant in thought but frozen in action.
A quiet tragedy no one claps for.
Hey…look at that girl with her Doula Certification…
Said nobody ever.
