Decisions, decisions

Three kinds of ADHD decisions:

1. *presented with 4 options*
1. ADHD person: *looks at options for 30 seconds* uhh, that one.
2. Someone else: Are you sure? Did you consider the potential outcomes?
3. ADHD: I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life. It’s that one.
2. *presented with 4 options*
1. ADHD: That one, definitely.
2. *thinks about it more* Yea.... still that one.
3. *thinks about it more* yep, that’s the one.
4. *thinks about it more* yknow I’m really not sure. I’ve done some research and it seems kind of complicated and like maybe it’s not the right answer. I’m not sure. I’m just... not gonna make a decision.
5. Opt. *thinks about it more* Yeah, that one!

1. *presented with 4 options*
1. ADHD: Well, maybe option A, but that means this consequence so maybe option B, but option B means option A isn’t a problem, maybe option C, but option C is actively bad for options A and B, and the opportunity cost is high, so maybe option D? But that seems really hard so idk option A is sounding pretty good, but that would mean this and this and this, but option B would still mean this and this but not this and option D would get rid of all this but would mean that and that and...

First option has limited effectiveness and hight potential for disaster, but sometimes it works out great
Second option makes committing to plans very difficult. It's great when trying not to buy things, but it's very bad when trying to buy things.
Third option means spiral. There’s no good outcome here. Breaking the spiral requires external input or a concentrated effort to extract oneself from the situation and make the decision later.
