    Literally me, the very moment I clicked on this.

    For me, it actually started working a couple of years ago. E. g. cleaning the apartment feels overwhelming, but when I ask myself “What CAN you do?” - “I can put ONE piece of garbage into the bin.” it works.

    But I understand that different things work for different people. For my child, this method does not work as well, for others not at all.

      Oh, interesting… Can you tell me more about your experience with Zoloft (and having ADHD)?

        Not OP, but if you’re curious about other medication effects, I found an interesting, beneficial side effect to my Lexapro. Without it, I easily get songs (and sometimes phrases) stuck in my head. It can get to the point where I can’t concentrate on writing, because my brain won’t stop repeating the same line(s).

        But with my meds, such things don’t loop in my head as much. Even if something catchy attempts to cling onto my brain, I can more easily extinguish the thought and move on. It breaks up anxiety loops and obnoxious earworms with the same force, which is an absolute game-changer for me.

    Idk if I actually have ADHD, but what works for me now is breaking the task down and start with the easiest thing. That usually get me going
