How ADHD, overwhelm, and emotional resistance keep you stuck—and how to start moving forward If you've ever felt like no matter how much you declutter, the mess just comes back… you're not alone. For many adults with ADHD, clutter isn't just about "too much stuff." It's about overwhelm, decision fatigue, and the frustrating feeling that you can never quite get ahead. In this episode of ADHD Support Talk, co-hosts Lynne Edris and Tara McGillicuddy continue the conversation about clutter and organization—this time focusing on why clutter feels so overwhelming, why it keeps coming back, and what actually helps. You'll learn why trying to "catch up" with clutter often doesn't work, how emotional resistance and discomfort keep you stuck, and how to start building momentum—even when you don't feel like it. If you've been waiting to feel motivated, clear, or "ready" before tackling clutter… this episode will help you take a different approach.
