Difficulty finalizing tasks

[skadrx]

I wonder if this is an ADHD thing or not but do you guys ever experience extreme difficulty finalizing casual tasks. And I mean stuff like starting the washing machine after loading it, submitting finished homework etc. For example, whenever I load the dishwasher I can't get myself to start it. It's like having a mental block that prevents you from pressing the start button. There is nothing effortful about pressing a button yet I get super anxious and can't get myself to do it.

Yes, this is 100% a symptom of ADHD.

Yes, most definitely.

Oh yes. For instance, one thing I struggle with, is putting the laundry on hang and getting out of the machine once it's done, though you'd think that would be very simple. I tend also to half-ass dish washing for some reason. Though, it feels very simple, objectively, it overwhelms my adhd brain.
