Well, it was early for me for sure. I heard someone explaining ADHD paralysis like a hot stove you are hovering your hand above, but no matter how hard you try to touch it your brain won't allow you to do it. The brain understands the risk and stops you before you harm yourself.

This really resonated with me, I often am like "let's do this" but my body won't move. For me at least it's about forgetting, I would be iterating the same thought throughout the day, I just cannot act on it, like being stuck in a loop.
