Have you ever had something bad happen to you that made you afraid to do anything like it again?
For many with ADHD, they have let others down or let themselves down when they failed to remember to do a task or to do the task properly without distraction. This feeling comes back when they think of doing the task again.
Each time they try to get up off the couch to do a task, it is like facing a fear. It takes a considerable effort to push past it, and many times the energy to do so just isn’t there.
That is the simple version. It isn’t exactly accurate, but it is how I’d say it to my 5 year old.
