That autistic / ADHD feel when you want to do… something.

I call this “activity cravings” because it’s like when you want a certain food but you aren’t sure which food. But for activities.

Do I want to go for a walk? Play a game? If so, what kind of game? DO I want to make things? Read? Watch tv? A movie?

then when that executive dysfunction comes into play and since you could do literally anything in the world, you end up trapped and unable to choose anything to do at all, and do nothing instead but live in that restlessness

One of the best additions to this post yet. This is one of those nuances of choice paralysis that people fail to understand – sometimes it is because we lack the executive function to choose, sometimes we want to do all the things and can’t choose.

And, if your depressive anhedonia kicks in, even if you DO decide on something, you quit 10 minutes later because the thing just isn’t doing it for you.

Me on my days off from work

Do I have “I’m Not Being Productive Enough” fatigue or “I Need A Break From Productivity” fatigue?

Will I become an overworked wreck or an underworked anxiety ball? tune in next w

jeez just tag me next time

same damnit

as someone who regularly stops at the grocery store when hungry, stares at different foods for half an hour, and goes home without buying anything to eat an entire tube of saltine crackers because 1) am Hungry and 2) all this Maybe Food and none of it is Yes Food … yes, I just realized I have this same situation with activities sometimes

Ah, shit. You just made this post come back around and hit me in the ass callin’ me out.

I get that feeling too! I suddenly had motivation one day, and I wanted to do so many things. I settled for writing but that didn’t last long.
