Does anyone feel like this?

Because sometimes brains have impaired executive function or other issues that make it difficult to just decide to do something and then go ahead and do it.

Sometimes I can just do something and sometimes I have to fight through what seems like endless inertia, fatigue, and distraction to get that same thing done, and it can take hours from "I need to do this" to "This is finally done." Logically, it's because I have neurological and cognitive issues that make getting things done difficult.

Yeah I also have severe anxiety and that tends to get in the way of things, plus my strict routine. If I have to be pulled out of my routine than anxiety kicks in and it becomes harder to function and I shut down.

Oops, I totally forgot to even mention my own anxiety. If it gets bad enough, I can barely do anything, and then I shut down.

Yeah,I get what you mean. It's like this weird inertia that my mind can't escape from the pull of what I am already doing. My mind keeps thinking about it, but then no action occurs, then anxiety sets in about when I should do this, or that and what is the right moment, and then I get worried that I waited too long to do what ever task, then my anxiety goes at it 10 fold with the thought that I waited too long and now I'll never get to do it (if it's something I want to do) or how I'll have consequences to pay if it was something I needed to do. This is the absolute worst on days like holidays, and weekends where my routine is different. I really hate that brain looping inertia feeling.
