You know those moments when you sit down to do one simple thing and suddenly your brain feels like a browser with like 50 tabs open?

你知道那種感覺嗎？就是你坐下來想做一件簡單的事，結果腦袋裡突然跑出五十個分頁一樣？

Obviously, you're not doing it on purpose.

現在進行式

只是你的思緒就是沒辦法專注。

And the harder you push yourself to start, the heavier everything feels.

而且你越是逼自己開始，就覺得事情越沉重。

If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.

如果你覺得這很熟悉，你不是一個人。

And today we are going to break down what's actually happening in your brain, why it feels so paralyzing, and

今天我們要來好好解析一下，你的大腦到底發生了什麼事，為什麼會讓你覺得這麼無力，還有

how to work with your mind instead of fighting against it.

如何與你的大腦合作，而不是跟它對抗。

One switch, one task, flip it on, and the brain knows exactly what to do.

一個開關，一個任務，打開它，大腦就知道該怎麼做。

That's how a neurotypical brain handles the moment before starting something.

這就是 neurotypical 的大腦在開始做事前是如何處理當下的。

A control panel covered in little blinking buttons.

一個佈滿閃爍小按鈕的控制面板。

沒有一個按鈕是照順序閃爍的。

Each little button represents something that needs your attention.

每一個小按鈕都代表著一件需要你關注的事情。

Start the laundry, open that email, eat something real, Text someone back.

開始洗衣服、打開那封郵件、吃點真正有營養的東西、回覆訊息。

And sometimes the buttons aren't even big things.

而且有時候這些按鈕代表的都不是什麼大事。

One of them is literally, I need to drink water.

其中一個按鈕的內容是，我需要喝水。

And even that shows up with the same urgency as everything else.

即使是這樣，它也跟其他所有事情一樣緊急地出現。

Should probably go drink some water anyways.

This is why ADHD isn't really a deficit of attention.

這就是為什麼ADHD其實不是注意力不足。

It's more like everything has my attention and I don't know what to do first.

感覺好像什麼事情都搶著要我的注意力，我不知道該先做哪個。

It's not lack of motivation, and it's not laziness.

這不是缺乏動力，也不是懶惰。

It's a prioritization system that doesn't automatically sort things into important now and later.

這是一個優先順序系統，它不會自動把事情抽成「現在重要」和「之後再說」。

那大腦裡到底發生了什麼事呢？

People often think ADHD is about distraction, but it's actually about regulation, regulating focus, motivation, priority, and

很多人以為 ADHD 是關於分心，但其實是關於調節，調節專注力、動力、優先順序，還有

The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps you organize and initiate tasks, relies heavily on dopamine to sort information.

prefrontal cortex，也就是幫助你組織和啟動任務的大腦區域，非常依賴 dopamine 來整理資訊。

In ADHD brains, the dopamine signal is inconsistent.

在 ADHD 的大腦裡，dopamine 的訊號是不穩定的。

So instead of the brain automatically saying, start here, this matters most.

所以大腦不會自動說，從這裡開始，這最重要。

什麼事情都以一樣的音量出現。

Not that your brain doesn't know what needs to be done.

不是你的大腦不知道該做什麼。

So your mental to do list doesn't arrive as a neat line.

所以你的待辦事項清單不會以一條清晰的線條出現。

It arrives like a cluster of alarms, all going off at once.

它會像一堆警報一樣出現，同時響起。

And when your system gets flooded with too many signals, something happens that most people misunderstand.

當你的系統被太多訊號淹沒時，就會發生一件大多數人都誤解的事情。

Not because you're giving up, but because it is overloaded.

不是因為你放棄了，而是因為它過載了。

任何有 ADHD 的人都經歷過這種情況。

the next thing you know, you're sitting in your bed, staring at your phone in the exact same spot you started.

結果下一秒，你就發現自己還坐在床邊，盯著手機，跟一開始的地方一模一樣。

Or you open your inbox to reply to one message and suddenly your chest tightens because you see six more waiting.

或者你打開收件匣想回一封信，結果突然胸口一緊，因為你看到還有另外六封在等著你。

And one of the most common moments, you lie in bed, scrolling your phone not so much to procrastinate, but

而最常見的時刻之一，你躺在床上滑手機，與其說是為了拖延，不如說是

to give your brain a hit of quick dopamine so it can calm down for a moment.

為了讓大腦快速獲得一些dopamine，讓它暫時平靜下來。

But as soon as you scroll, another feeling creeps in.

但你一滑下去，另一種感覺就悄悄跑出來了。

The guilt that you're not doing anything productive.

那種沒有在做任何有生產力事情的罪惡感。

That mix of relief and guilt that is ADHD overwhelm happening in real time.

那種混合了 राहत和罪惡感的感覺，就是ADHD過載正在即時發生。

Your brain isn't breaking, it's freezing.

你的大腦不是壞掉，而是當機了。

Like a computer with too many programs running at once.

就像電腦同時跑太多程式一樣。

When overwhelm hits, it brings thoughts like, why can't I just do it?

當這種感覺來襲時，腦中就會出現「為什麼我就是做不到？」的念頭。

On the outside, you might look calm or still, but

外表上你可能看起來很平靜或不動，但

on the inside, it feels like everything is happening at once.

內心感覺就像所有事情同時發生一樣。

For many people with adhd, this moment also includes masking, pretending you're fine, performing like everything is normal, even while your brain quietly shuts down.

對很多ADHD患者來說，這個時刻還包含偽裝，假裝自己沒事，表現得一切正常，即使大腦已經悄悄當機了。

And shame is one of the strongest emotional breaks the brain can experience.

而羞恥感是我們大腦能體驗到的最強烈的情緒阻斷之一。

So now your brain isn't just dealing with a blinking control panel.

所以現在你的大腦不只是在處理一個閃爍的控制面板。

It's dealing with expectations and guilt and pressures layered on top.

它還得處理疊加在上面的期望、罪惡感和壓力。

This is why ADHD overwhelm feels so heavy.

這就是為什麼ADHD的過載感會這麼沉重。

It's the combination of too many tasks and too many emotions trying to happen all at the same time.

這是因為太多任務和太多情緒同時發生。

這裡有一些真正有幫助的方法。

ADHD brain isn't trying to make your life harder.

ADHD的大腦並不是想讓你的生活更難。

As usual, when everything feels like too much, it pauses.

就像平常一樣，當感覺一切都太過頭時，它就會暫停。

When there are too many choices, your brain freezes.

當選擇太多時，你的大腦就會當機。

Not because you're bad at life, but because the system is simply overloaded.

這不是因為你人生很糟糕，而是因為系統整個過載了。

所以硬著頭皮去做通常沒什麼幫助。

What helps is making making things simpler.

有幫助的是把事情變得簡單一點。

挑一兩個就好，剩下的先放著。

Then make the task smaller than you think it needs to be.

然後把任務做得比你想像中還要小一點。

For example, clean the kitchen sounds difficult to an overwhelmed brain.

舉個例子，對一個壓力很大的大腦來說，「打掃廚房」聽起來就很難。

Change it to pick up one item and throw it away, or recycle it.

改成「撿起一樣東西丟掉，或是回收」。

And once you start, it's easier to keep going.

而且一旦開始了，就比較容易繼續下去。

You can also let things outside your brain do some of the work.

你也可以讓腦袋外面的事情幫你做一些事。

Timers short lists when there's structure around you, your mind can finally relax.

計時器、簡短的清單，當你周圍有結構時，你的大腦終於可以放鬆了。

You just have to begin, even if it's only for 30 seconds.

你只需要開始，就算只做 30 秒也好。
