i wish there was a better way to describe this feeling the weird locked-up feeling where you genuinely want to act on something but honestly cant like ive had times where the desire to do something is so intense that im nearly in tears frustrated but getting from want to act to act feels about as likely as sprouting wings to fly  the best thing ive done is to figure out ways to deal with this specific issue its one of the few identifiable and sort of solvable problems in the whole adhd mess ive had some success in finding ways to just get started no matter how small or shitty my efforts are because once im started i can usually get moving from there but the sense of overwhelm the frozen feeling the emotional component -- its all real and normal folks just dont get it
