    I’ve heard that some people who have ADHD can have a real hard time with “transitioning” from one frame of mind to another as is required for starting a new task of any kind. I imagine people who don’t have ADHD can also struggle with that sometimes

        I definitely have autistic traits but always hesitate to talk about; I think there’s a lot of negative sentiment towards undiagnosed folks self-diagnosing.

      Yup this is a typical symptom of adhd. This alone doesn’t mean you have adhd, but it means you should put it on the possibility list and maybe get evaluated by a professional

        What kind of professional and to what end? I don’t think an explicit diagnosis would really help, but I have been thinking talking with a therapist/counselor could help with numerous issues I have.

        Speaking of tasks though, finding and choosing a counselor has been daunting and keeps leading me to decision paralysis.
