    The issue is the absolute cascade of a metric Shit Ass Fuck Ton of things the average ADHD mind will pile on top of the simple task that is needing to be done.

    Oh, you wanted to clean the house? Well, First you gotta find the tools, buy more supplies for cleaning, put the pets away, warn everyone you’re cleaning, find everything you misplaced before, oh by the way the laundry needs sorted, the dishes need washed, and oh by the way we’re out of dishsoap, and oh by the way we need to buy more milk eggs coffee…etc… and oh by the way since we’re there we might as well just get some flash drives and oh by the way the remote needs more batteries too and oh by the way the computer needs a new antivirus license and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way … and oh by the way …

    And. it. Never. Fucking. Ends.

    Usually your brain will stack overflow after about the tenth or fifteenth “by the way” but y’know some of us have triggers as well and some of us are ASD too and so those “Oh by the way” quips our brain are making? Yeah, one way ticket to trauma or depression or anxiety or whatever else is going on. That’s on top of the already fraught emotional and cognitive load of emotions the whole cascade above caused.
