Ok, I know I often have issues just getting up and starting a task that will only take me 5 minutes in the end. But WHY is that? What happens in my brain?
This topic is very intricate and hard to explain in simple terms - I gave it my best shot, so please excuse the masses of text! Split into 2 images for easier reading
Mad I forgot to add this but this is an explanation in case that the problem source is INERTIA (explained in my previous comic). So, neurological-motivational. ADHD Paralysis can have many other reasons like overwhelm, decision fatigue, not knowing where to start etc!!

Had a realization about myself recently, and I think I might need to go get myself evaluated whoops
Here is the comic series I promised with my last post!
Part 1/4
Part 2 will be neurological explanations,
Part 3&4 will be actual tips and tricks!
Please know that I’m not intentionally withholding the next parts, they’re just not finished yet and making this series takes so much time. So much Layouting to not make all this info a wall of text! That being said I hope I can upload part 2 next week to my patreon
Someone asked me if my Graphic Novel was out yet but for some reason I can’t answer the message:
Reason I’m so inactive is because I’m still working on it!
I was interviewed by German news and they broadcast some of the script so I can share it here too I guess!
Wait are you German?
Yes I’m German!
Huh, I kinda thought you were Canadian
Never been there, eh

Will post a comic series explaining why this happens and sharing tips and strategies starting next week
I was in a workshop the other day where someone was detailing how they, compared to others, show respect by not fidgeting and keeping eye-contact with people.
So yeah, I felt the need to make this comic.
Keep in mind: This isn't an ADHD specific problem and depending on the nuance, can stem from different areas like anxiety or autism. The eye-contact "issues" with ADHD stem more from impulsive eye-movements (the kind where you are not really looking at anything) and high distractability.
ADHD also has a significant overlap with eye-conditions and some studies suggest that ADHD medication can actually help with some eye-conditions. (Is that why my sight feels more blurry on days off medication?!)
You have things you want and need to do. You want to do -something- but you just can't. This is based on my recent struggles with ADHD, executive dysfunction is a bitch.
Being Better: My ADHD comic for @adhd-alien’s Cosmic Takeover event!
Having ADHD has been a really hard experience for me, and it affects me every minute of my life. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to address it publicly, and I’m glad I got to share it in such a special way. If you relate and think you have ADHD, don’t hesitate to contact a medical professional and find out more about getting diagnosed. Thank you for reading! ❤️
28 artists with ADHD, 28 comics, 28 days.
ADHD COsMIC takeover is an event sharing comics from 28 amazing artists to highlight how everyone experiences ADHD differently. I’m super excited and hope y’all will enjoy and benefit from the artists works!! They’re all really giving their best tor this :>>
Currently working on a homepage to collect all of them!
Check out #cosmictakeover for entries available on tumblr!
It is still a balance of trying to let go and not be rigid despite knowing this. I am not expecting to reach perfection, but just getting through every day, a day at a time, and knowing that bending is okay.
Happy ADHD invasion guys! Here is my piece for this year’s cosmic takeover, a little reflection on my journey with adhd :)
