Crisis Restart Protocol
Your emergency button for when your ADHD brain crashes. No shame, just support.
✓What It Is
An emergency support system with three observable "switches" (Task Paralysis, Emotional Dysregulation, Isolation Cascade). When switches flip, you get pre-written scripts, clear protocols, and shame-free guidance for asking for help when your executive function crashes.
✗What It's Not
Not a replacement for therapy or medical help. Not designed for active self-harm situations (if you're unsafe, call 988). Not a "just try harder" motivational tool. Not judgment about needing support—it's acknowledgment that ADHD brains sometimes crash.
⚡Why It Works
Removes the cognitive load of figuring out "how bad is it?" Observable markers mean you don't need insight when your brain is offline. Pre-written scripts eliminate the barrier of "what do I even say?" Validates that asking for help is a skill, not a weakness. Based on the Restart & Recovery pillar from Human AF: Authentically Focused.
